New Welcome Centre and Sunset Avenue only mark the beginning

WORKMAN

News Editor

Late in the 2015 winter term, the
University of Windsor took prior¬
ity on some obstruction projects on
campus to give the grounds a facelift

These early projects consisted of cre¬
ating a new Welcome Centre on Wy¬
andotte Street and the reconstruc¬
tion of Sunset Avenue, attempting to
make open concept areas for both
the students and employees of the
University.

The new Welcome Center can be
seen in the forefront of the grounds
off of Wyandotte Street where the
dd parking lot in front of Erie Hall
was. The glass building features open
concept ideals on the inside with very
little dosed spaces and glass encased
rooms Outside of the building there
are green spaces for students and
workers to relax, study and enjoy the
new addition*

John Coleman, the director of pub¬
lic affairs and communkations at

the University of Windsor, said the
university has been very busy during
the summer and students who are

returning are going to see some big
changes around the campus.

“The new Welcome Centre is at the

focal point ofWyandotte and Patricia
and will be the greeting hub of the en¬
tire school^ said Colmm "The land¬
scaping is just being finished outside
and were exdfced for people to come
and visit as the school year starts out"

Coleman said the bidding is meant

to be a common ground for students

faculty and staff to come and hang

out

The other big project which took
place over the summer was foe face¬
lift of Sunset Avenue Coleman said
it is an incredible project and has
changed the street completely from a
high-traffic area to a student gather¬
ing area

"There are a lot of cod features such
as the new square-shaped street limits
that have a modem look to them, the
green areas all along the street and,
what 1 think is foe most unique fea¬
ture, are foe newly installed learning
podsT said Cdemaa “The pods are
essentially hangout areas where stii-
dents and faculty can work and hang
out*

The Sunset project, which is still in¬
complete, has a budget of $49 mil¬
lion and will continue construction
into the school year.

Earlier this year; foe University of
Windsor was one of five schools

ranked the greenest in North Amo--
ka and Coleman said these projects
are adding to that posona

Another big oanstniction pro^
university is continuing is the integra¬
tion of the downtown campus. Stu¬
dents are going to see the first part
open up this M.

“The Centre for Executive and Pro¬
fessional Education downtown will
have over 500 people moving down
there including students, faculty and
staff said Coleman. “There is still
work being done on the outside but
you can see staff has moved in on
foe inside and the building is almost
complete"

Additionally, Coleman said hav¬
ing foe social weak programs in the
downtown sectorwiD be a very good
foing for the students because foe en-
vironment will only benefit foe stud¬
io of the students there.

SoCA Over the Summer: What Happened
and What’s In Store for 2015-16

The Armouries building located in downtown Windsor is under construction as it will be set to be the

HANIYASS1NE

Arts Editor

The School of Creative Aits (SoCA)
underwent some changes and delays
over the summer months as it pre¬
pares for its 48th season.

What was supposed to be the schools
final year in the LaBd building has
turned into the penultimate Students
in die SoCA program won't be mov¬
ing into their downtown location un¬
til summer 2017, Initially confirmed
earlier in the season, one of die causes
for the delay had been due to the Ar¬
mouries buildings dose distance to
the Windsor-Detroit tunnel, accord¬
ing to SoCAs marketing co-ordinator
Susan McKee,

'The tunnel board had to approve
the construction and then they had
to have these vibration sensors in¬
stalled along Freedom Way!’ McKee
said "‘That took a couple of months
longer than expected”

Despite the setback, die school
doesn't mind staying in thdr current
digs for a little bit longer However
therefc some anxiousness in the air
as die corr^etion of the project will
lead to numerous partnerships be¬
tween SoCA and several downtown
businesses such as the Windsor Sym¬

phony Orchestra and the Art Gallery
ofWindsor*

‘Were really’ looking to do more
things in partnership with arts or¬
ganizations in Windsor and Essex
County!’ McKee said ‘"We always
have, but were going to be downtown
so theres going to be more opportu¬
nities when wti get there”

With the 48th season on the horizon*
die school has prepared a number of
concerts, exhibitions and workshops
with the help of a wide variety of spe¬
cial guests. One of the events to occur
in the fall includes an artist talk with
Dr. Garnet Hertz, a Research Chair in
Design and Media Arts at Emily Carr
University in Vancouver In late Oc¬
tober, the school will host a concert
for Project Trio, where artists merge
aspects within a variety of musical
genres.

‘They’re aE world dass artists indi¬
vidual!); but they kind of combine

classical, rock, new age, you name rtf

McKee said

There was also a significant staff
change during the off months. In
July the school appointed Dr, Bruce
Kotowich as the new Director of
Choirs, Originally from Winnipeg,
Kotowich was working as a director
at Lanas College in Iowa before set¬

tling into Windsor.

T really wasn’t looking for a major
movei' Kotowich said Thtogs were
going well for me in Iowa, but the
opportunity to come home was very
important to me”

Ctoeofhisfirstmovesasactingdirec-
tor is setting up auditions for both the
University Singers and the Chambers
Choir With a sign-up sheet at the

aD university students in the form of
an elective. Auditions are set tobegin

during the first week of dasses and
will be hdd at Kotowidis office. Ulti¬
mately he hopes to have the singers at
top form and suspend them towards
a national stage.

This being my first year, Fm in
support of getting a better grasp of

university culture, the community
needs, and to make sure these two
ensembles are as heahhy as possible! 3

Kotowich said The students need
to know that I will be here long term,
that there* going to be growth* therefe
going to be opportunities! 1

The complete schedule of the 48th
season can be found on the SoCA
website.

institutionalized racism can be expected
to lake it foil on anyone. But resilience,
instead, is flic main tliernc of Azra Daniel

And whw he feds no relief from racism and

still lie persists in demanding the dignify and
equality that is his human right.

‘■Superheroes” walked amongst mor¬
tals as the Easter Seals held a kick-off
event on the 27th floor of Caesars
Windsor Augustus Tower promot¬
ing the buSd up of fundraising for
Drop Zone as it enters its final year.

Drop Zone is a national fundraising
event where individuals and teams
get to become superheroes for the
day helping to raise a minimum of
$1,500 in pledges to support children
with physical disabilities.

On Aug, 25 f Easter Seals Ontario
Ambassadors, Caesars Windsor rep¬
resentatives and committee mem¬
bers of the Windsor-Essex Drop
Zone all gathered to the area where
mdivkhiak or teams who raise the
minimum amount will be eligible
to rappel 27-storeys off of Augustus
Tower.

Afshin All > the Development Of¬
ficer of Easter Seals Windsor-Essex,
asks a simple question to those who
are leery of foe once in a lifetime pos¬
sibility.

"Why wouklnt you? Why wouldn't
you want to rappel off of Caesars
Windsor and hang out and enjoy
the Detroit skyline? I& a fun event,
ife esdting and ifs unique in that not
a tot of people do this in their spare
time,” said AJL “Were really exdfced,
we want more of a draw from par¬
ticipants. Last year we raked a total
of $60,000 in pledges for children of
Easter Seek. This year we're hoping to

raises to SBQ.OQtf

Since 1922, Easter Seals Ontario lias
helped create a better life for children
and youth with physical disabilities
from all ethnic and religious back¬
grounds. Heading into the final year
ofDrop Zone Windsor, Ali hopes the
people of Windsor-Essex will sup¬
port this unique fondnusing event
before it leaves foe dty far good

“Because it is a different event and ilk
for children with physical disabilities
it makes people want to do it' said
AL "Ifs more rewarding and you

know where foe fandraising dollars

__

go.

Easter Seals is known as an industry
leader in providing specialized rec¬
reation programs for children with
physical disabilities at camps, which
provide opportunities for sodal de¬
velopment As wet hearing and mo¬
bility equipment devices are provided
to families in need Almost all Eas¬
ter Seats programs and services are
funded entirely through donations,
whether it be by individuals, sponsors
and foundations.

Ram Sridhar, District Chair for Eas¬
ter Seals Ontario, said to reach their
goal foe event would need approxi¬
mately 65 people raising $1,500. As of
Aug. 25, Sridhar said theywere about
halfway to their goal but also hopes
they will surpass it and make it ahuge
success.

“This is foe one charitable event
where you're doing something that
the kids have to face everydayf said
Sridhar. “They have to face a chal¬

lenge everyday. To get somewhere or
do someth!^ whether it is \
an adult or someone able-bodied or
somebody overeoming a fear In do¬
ing this, you fed better about yourself,
ifs quite a feding."

Sridhar, a Masters of Economics
graduate of the University of Wind¬
sor in 2003 says seeing the exhilarat¬
ed faces erf participants who take the
plunge down the 27-stories and take
in all of foe sightlines is an experience
in itself

Theres no better vkw in the dty
than Caesar's Windsor, so anyone
who participates in this wil have an
experience that foe vast majority of
their fellow residents will never have,”
said Sridhar. They should take ad¬
vantage of it, tor sure You get to be a
superhero for a day; the kids get to be
a superhero for a lifetime”

A comedy scene in Windsor could
have been declared miniscule at best

continues to draw in audience mem¬
bers whove never been to a show
sudiasJohnOrioa

“My friend invited me, it was all his
idea But it was a good show Fd defi¬
nitely come badC Orton said

The second annual Border City
Comedy Best has left a lingering pres¬
ence over the summer as it ended its
eighth and final week of competition
on Aug 28 and 29 at the Comedy
Quarry inside Rodthead Pub. Sixty-
four stand-up comics joked their way
through in hopes of winning the top
prizeina$5000pooljustei^itcom-
ics competed ever die course of eight
weeks, with each winner clinching a
spot at the late September finale at the
Okie Walker/ilk Theatre,

Tfe like watdung Last Comic Stand¬
ing, but in your own backyard" said
host and Comedy Quarry co-owner
JonPdadeaiL

Comics are given between five and

six minutes to perform their routine
in hopes to advance to the next night
Three comics then advance and are
given 10 minutes to deliver an act
which will bring them to the finale
Theres likely Me doubt as to the ap¬
peal of the cash prize, but fur cumk
fay Gill the opportunity to perform
is enough.

"Its not about getting the money but
getting another spotT Gill said “To¬
day is about gelling tomorrow and
tomorrow I get 10 minutes. When
youre three years in, a win is just get¬
ting on stage.”

Gill, a second year Law student at
the University of Windsor, has been
a stand-up comic for three years. As
far as prime inspiration goes, he dtes
a Louis CK performance which left
quite an impression, enough for him
to want to try his hand as a comedian

“He wasn't just saying things to say
them. He was saying them and Ire
had a point that hit home, both chi
the laugh and with the truth of&atT
QD said

There were laughs, there were
groans, and the dub was at near ca¬
pacity when the lights dimmed and
the show began Petadeau said the

reception for the festival this year was
similar to the first, with the majority
of shows selling out With comedy
nights popping up at a more consis¬
tent basis around the city it may be
safe to assume the emerging local
scene may not be bowing out any¬

'Comedy has come so far in Wind¬
sor from having more local showcas¬
es to having two dubs that are active.
Theres lots more comedy coming
through,” Pdadeau said “Bor die
festival to draw such a good crowd

comedy’s really slow season, really

great to see people coming out and
supporting it”

The finale for the competition will
begin on September 25 and will con-
dude the following evening,

UWindsor Students and the Federal Elections

Upcoming elections captivate postsecondary audiences

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

The upcoming federal election lias a
fot of people arguing, debating and
posting opinions, campaign ads and
links to election related propaganda

The buzz has hit almost ail corners
of foe social aides in Canada and
the University of Windsor and other
postsecondary institutions are no
exceptions, With a very high portion
of eligible voters, foe group could be
a major turning point when it comes
down to voting day although, many
say they dorit feel the information
to make an educated vote is readily’
available

Fourth year btochemistry student,
Victor Igbokwe said he feels a lot of
the Canadian candidates are “politi¬
cal ninjas'!

“I would follow the politics more
closely ifit was better advertised^ said
Igbokwe. T know more about foe
American politks because the)’are all
over the media.”

Igbokwe said if he had access to a
pamphlet which broke down foe
candidates and their platforms he
would feel more informed and pre¬
pared

4f Studenls should be involved in
politics and feel comfortable doing
it,” said Igbokwe. “Students are a key
demographic of the country that a tot
ofpolides affect but we have no real
voice.”

Another UWindsor student in foe
dramatic arts department Shane
Morris, said students are the next
generation and politicians should
keep them in mind now for their
own futures.

“The country is being shifted into
our hands and we need to continue
to shape it and form it for years to fol-
lowT said Monk

Morris also added politics have to
wave away from foe “dub” mentality
they have

“Show us this is more than just old¬
er men trying to fight their batiks

through young mens lives while liv¬
ing liresofluxuryf said Monk “Lead
undent rule us”

Morris said his knowledge of this
years campaigns is based off of the
more popular candidates Stephen
Harper, for foe Conservative Party
and Justin Trudeau, for foe Liberal
Party.

Morris said he believes politics have
become a popularity contest to see
who can be elected for another term
and maintain a “fen base” He said he
doesn’t want a celebrity to lead Cana¬
da blindly as a figurehead, he wants a
ruler who will walk “through & battle¬
field with us”

"third year psychology UWindsor
student, Emily McQoskey said stu¬
dent involvement in politics is very
important

“Students should be involved because
this ts our future and country that
we have to live inT said MeGoskey.
“If the government tries to target the
larger population of foe generation

ahead of us and satisfy them, die
voice of the younger population goes
unnoticed and they become less in¬
terested to politics.”

McQoskey said politicians should
try harder to target postsecondary
students and to do more to inform
them in general. She said having eas¬
ily accessible, point-form informa¬
tion would benefit a lot of foe uni¬
versity and college age groups, as well
as make them more confident when
wanting to gst involved

“Political involvement isn't a right,
its a responsibility^ said Mitchell De-
mais, a fourth year Fblities and Gov¬
ernance at Ryerson University. “As
citizens we're obligated to participate,
Ks foe price we pay for the franchise”

Demars said politicians dorit adver¬
tise themselves in a way which ap¬
peals to the way media is turning over
to foe internet

"I think the parties are too reliant
on traditional mediaT said Demars,
Nobody watches TV in this genera¬

tion"

He also said more education in poli¬
tics would be good, especially in high
school

In high school you study advanced
math and physics but you just baidy
scrape the surface of politics, eco¬
nomics or sodotogyT said Demars.
“Most people in our age category
know very’ little about political the¬
ory, foe structure of foe government
or even bask legal rights and I think it
really hurts politicization.”

Students want to be involved in their
country and in fodr future but also
want foe tofonration necessary to be
more accessible.

If politicians want to gather some
votes in foe untapped social aides,
making their platforms accessible
and understood by foe postseoorad-
ary institutions would help according
to Windsor students.

The Walkerville area found itself in

hdd just a stones throwaway

The Walkerville Artists Co-op hdd

nized by Chris Fond, who said this is
the first of many readings to come.
She hopes to have at least one more
by the end of the year. Her book, A
Poetic Journey! is a reflective piece
which touches upon her time woik-
ingwith children.

“I was a social worker for years so ife

Fold

With each author taking turns to
speak, the words were sdf-reffective
and no subject was off limits. Some
were mere life moments, while oth¬
ers touched on child slavery; mental

ficulties. Amina AbduHe was one of
the authors present, reading from her

When t he word hip-hop comes to
mind, people naturally think about
rap music, but for some people like
event co-coordinator David Jones, its
a misconception lie would like to see
cleared

“Hip-hop is more of a lifestyle, its a
culture, its social awareness, a collec¬
tive consciousness,” Jones said

The first ever Windsor Hip-hop Mu¬
sic Festival staked its daim al Atkin¬
son Baric over the weekend The Aug
29 event went on from morning to
evening as people went on stage to
rap beat box, break-dance and above
all entertain and educate. The objec¬
tive wasft just to have a successful
shew; but to inform people as to what
hip-hop means and entails.

was built on positivity. Back in
1973 it was peace, love, unity and
safely having fun, and that s what we

want to bring it back toT Jones said

The event wanted to flex hiphops
mused prowess, as well as how it can
reach and transcend into a way oflv-
ing through graffiti art, crafts, fashion
and a sense of community For DJ
Needle, whds worked on musk for
years and also hdped co-ordinate the
festival, it's nothing short of a radiant
lifestyle

“I love DJing, and the mixing, scratch¬
ing, cutting,’* said Needle “Tha6
what brings hip hop to me and if you
listen to some of the old school rap¬
pers, they were actually talking about
good tilings* telling you a story, edu¬
cating people on certain things*

Similarly, for barberTyrone Elliott* its

simply alt-encompassing

“Its rock and roll, its everything now.
Its tiie world’ Elliott said

Throughout the afternoon, public
turnout had been small, which may
have been due to some scattered

showers throughout the day How¬
ever, the ccxjrdinators remained un¬
deterred however in delivering what

they believed to be a successful event

W A lot of people were either hoping
or expecting us to fail but we refuse

to MJ 1 said Jones. ‘Were here, we
started it the stages and the music
We succeeded already!”

International students at UWmdsor
had multiple opportunities this sum¬
mer toleam more about the area a lot
of them are preparing to spend the
r^oftheir lives in.

In the latest ‘‘Summer at the Barks”
trip Aug. 25* students from Interna¬
tional Student Centre, the Interna¬
tional Student Society, the Volunteer
International Student Assistance
and guests visited Canada most
southern point - Point Peiee. The
trip, hosted by the LSG included a
walk through the park, pictures at
the point and a sense of seeing whai
Canadas parks have to offer.

Priyanka jaggi, student president of
the LS.C and one of the event coordi¬
nators, said the Hip was just as much
about making new friends as it was
about seeing the park.

W A lot of people don't know about
Point Pefee and how it is the south¬
ernmost part of Canada* so it’s what
were here to see and something Fm
hoping the students will find inter¬
esting!* said Jaggi Tfs also a good
chance to make friends from differ¬
ent ethnicities here”

faggi said they haw been making
tx^ thiOTght^ut the sunmrer ami t^
program itselfhas been gotr^f on for a
few years- A few of the other visits this
summer were to Jackson Baric, Wil-
listead Paric and C^ibway Park

"The trip is not just for international
students though and that is some¬
thing we are trying to publidzetothe
dornestic students^ said Jaggi “With
these trips we are trying to introduce
international and domestic students.
Our events and outings are not just
for international students”

Jaggi said the LS.C was very happy
with the turnouts tltroughout the
summer but she would like to see
more domestic students getting in¬
volved with the activities and making
friends from new countries,

Tm really glad I was able to make it
out and meet new people who are
now my friends," sad Icha Hassani
a second year biochemistry student
and a volunteer for the day from the
ISC, “Its not the sunniest of days but

Fm still able to enjoy it with friends,
new and did”

Many of the students commented
on having fun making new friends
throughout the day and the other
trips held earlier that summer.

One student said die had never seen
foe great lakes before even though
she is going into her second year of
schooling at UWindsor -

Tve heard of the Great Lakes from
text books and seen pictures of them
but Fve never gotten to experience
the lakes in person^ said Ling Luo* a
human resources student and a vol¬
unteer from VISA

Luo and the other VISA members
present all agreed the trip was a good
day for them to come out as a group
and get to know each other because
they were going to spend the year
working together.

Coordinator of VISA, Amy Bui
said since it was the last day of the
park visits and a lot of local students,
such as hetsd£ haven't been to Point
Befee let alone the international stu¬
dents in the group they decided to
take full advantage of foe day

"So far weVe done a marsh walk
where we got to see a lot of plants
none of us has ever seen before and
we did a lot of photo shoots too, defi¬
nitely some selfies involvedr said Bui
“We were also able to speak with the
guide and learn a tot about the differ¬
ent insects and life in the park.”

Bui said for herself and a lot of stu¬
dents present there from other coun¬
tries, or even just the city* there are a
lot of things they would have never
learned or been exposed to without
a trip like this available. She sakl the
country life of Canada and the dty
life are very contrasting and a lot of
the students will cherish the trips they
had here.

Throughout the day the students saw
see the sights and the wildlife of Point
Bdbe, tried out the different excur¬
sions around the park and ended
the day with a ride back to Windsor
together.

While the University of Windsor is
still bracing for die first day of dasses
and a large student commune, itis
been business as usual for University
Players.

The live theatre program has been
hard at work over the summer as
they begin preparations for the 57th
season. Similar to last year, the 2015-
2016 yearwill have six shows ranging
from adult dramas to comedies for
all ages. According to School of Dra¬
matic Art Director Tina Pugjiese, the
basis on choosing scripts has a lot to
do with accommodating fourth year
drama students who are required to
have two major roles on stage prior to
graduating Theres also the matter of
ensuring they receive training under
a variety of genres, and finally therek
the appeal to public reception.

“There!5 always pleasing the public,
because it is a subscription series and
so we usually like to haw a comedy
and we try to get a Canadian piece
in there every' year” Pugliese said
“Sometimes that works out, some¬
times it doesn’t but we try to stick to
that criteria."

The opener for this season will be
the Pulitzer Prize winning Anna in
the Tropic^ written by Nik) Cruz. An
adult themed drama, it tells the dory
cf workers in a Cuban-American ci¬
gar factory in late 1920s Florida. Poet¬
ic at its core, characters’ passions draw
high as they’re ignited by a lector who
reads the bode Anna Karenina' to
the mainly illiterate foctory workers.
The opening is set for September 25
at Essex Hall Theatre, with director
and Univereity Players Chair Gordon
McCall at the hdm

“Anna In The Tropics’ pulses with
a Latin beat Its hypnotic language,
remarkable characters and immer¬
sion into the world of the lost cigar
factories ofYbor Qty is magically in¬
tertwined with the great Russian love
aoryofTolstoy’sdassic Anna Kareni¬
na” McCall said in a statement “The
play floats through the night tike a hot
summer Tampa breeze and pulls you
into its Salsa dancer’s heart UWind-
sor students will love this play!"

Actors are currently in rehearsals,
with the costumes and set design fin¬
ished and ready for showtime. Pug-
liese says fire process of getting ev¬
erything in order has gone smoothly
but one of the things she; hoping
to achieve is not just in delivering a

successful season, but to draw in a
younger crowd

‘One thing we want to stress every
year is that we want students com¬
ing out to watch students,” Pugliese
said T think itk an unknown for a
lot of students. What is it that you do
there? Where is the theatre? How do
I get there? I& live theatre, which is
still something flits generation seems
to be a little detached firm Were on
screens, were on our phones, were
on video games, but engaging in a
live event is a very different experi¬
ence”

One way Pugliese would like to draw
in a student-oriented crowd is by
reaching out to student organizations
and make deals to see a show and get
a couple of extra perks along with
it, such as free pizza. At any rate she
would kwe more students to embrace
the theatre and see what the program
and its students have to ofler.

"Were working at getting a younger
audience and so some of the shows
we have this season reflect that and
next season even more so,” Pugliese
said “So we want to get the young
people in because its a great experi¬
ence and these are young people on
the stage.”

Men’s Soccer Sweep Guelph, Brock
In Opening Weekend Action

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Windsor lancers mens soccer
team started off their their QUA reg¬
ular season perfectly; sweeping both
ffie Gudph Gryphons and Brock
Badgers on die mad while not sur¬
rendering a single goaL

Windsor controlled much of fhe play
against Gryphons Aug 29 conquer¬
ing majority of the match. In tire 11th
minute, Lancers first-year player Ja-
mar Redhead put his first QUA goal
past the Gryphons goalkeeper to give
histeama 1-0 lead

The Lancers were dominating with
their possession style of play until
midway through the second half
when Windsor was dealt a large How
as fourth year midfielder lack Sargent
was issued a red card and subse¬
quently ejected from the game.

Lancers head coach Steve Hart said
it was a challenge playing the final 25

minutes with only ten men, but was
very proud ofhis players ability tode-
fend and ultimately daim the shutout
victory:

“We were taking chances and unfor¬
tunately ended up losing a player, we
had to reorganized* said Hart. 'They
were all absolutely gassed at the end
because they put their bodies on the
line for those three points, Iheywdi
deserved itkit it was hard playing for
the last 25 minute with only IGnrenT

Lancers keeper Kyle Vkirakis
stopped all eight shots to shutout file
Gryplions, who are known to be a
consistently strong program and fin¬
ished third in the QUA last season.

The nact day, Windsor took on the
Brock Badgers in St Catherines and
earned a 3-0 victory. Whats more
impressive? The Lancers did not al¬
low a single shot on goal during the
match, as keeper Vizirakis and com¬
pany posted their second shutout of
the weekend

It took the Lancers almost the entire
first half to get on the scoreboard
against the Badgers thanks to astrong
effort from Brock keqrer Matthew
Zaikos. In the first halfs final minute,
it would be Tony Falkestajn to break
through the Brock wall of defense
and give Windsor a i-G.

Had the game stayed scoreless after
file first half Hart said it would have
been a crime.

"For file last 15 minute of the first
half we were absolutely pummding
them and we just couldrit get it irC
said Hart “ft was like shades of last
season but in the end we scored”

In the second half Lancers rookie
Leighton Speechley-Price made
his presence felt in the OUA with
two goals within five minute First
Speechky-Price converted on a pen¬
alty kick after teammate Mike Pfo
was fouled within the 2(hyard box.
Speechky-Prices second goal came
on a rebound in the 55th minute to
sea! the Lancers victory and cam a to¬

tal of six points in the OUA standings.

Speeehley-Price, a 6*5” forward from
Lymington, England said it was a
great team performance on theweek¬
end in some very hot conditions.

“Everyone was grinding at the right
times, everyone did wd! and we
managed the game well ft was a
team effort*' said Speechley-Price:
“[Against Guelph], we just simply
outworked them, the) 7 didn't redly
create anything clear cut when we
had lOn^andwejustranoumivej
into the ground”

Speechley-Price said Brock was a
more direct team that gave the Lanc¬
ers a lot of resistance in the first half
Once he was entered into the game,
Speechley-Price said it was the work
ofhis teammate which allowed him
to do what he does best, score goak

"ft was all work from all of the play¬
ers, I was just there to finish it off>
said Speechley-Price: ft Mike Ho did
well with drawing the penalty and he

set me up for the next one so I got to
thank him for that”

The Lancers head b^k cm the road
next weekend to free tire McMaster
Marauders and York lions on Sept
5 and 6. Speediley-Price admitted he
doesrft know much about McMaster
and York, but what he does know is
that they are tough teams.

"They are an exceptional bunch of
players, York especially? said Speech'
ley-Price ( We are looking forward to
getting off to a good start, not conced¬
ing a goal yet* I think lhafe giving the
team the bdkfwe might be able to get
something out of the next games. If
we can get three points out of six for
next weekend, then we had a good
weekmd.Ifwegetaflsix 1 tfaatsJantas-
tic, obviously w^ll have .something to
smile about next weekend”

The short trip to Canada serves as

“Us great to get a win” said Steer. “We
did a lot of great things, when I see
the guys play with heart and they play
hard, thafe all I can ask for”

Windsor was Jed by Alex Camp¬
bell with a game-high 23 points and
eight rebounds while Marko Kovac
and Mike Rocca dripped in 21 points

the attention of foe veteran Rooca,

“Isiah adds that length and what he
did well was rebound the baC said
Rocca “He played really tough for his

Osborne, a Windsor native, was
placed in the starting lineup by Steer

as weB as Kovac, a felfow Windsorite.
Kbvac said ftwas a big change for him
to start the game after the noticeable
graduation of senior Evan Matthews
and the departure to pky professional
basketball overseas by Rotimi Osun-

"Coach trusted me early so I stepped
up big,” said Kovac "My teammates
were very unselfish today, got me
great looks on the perimeter, great
shots, all I had to do was make them.

A few timely buckets allowed foe

Kovac said the pair of wins gives the
Lancers lots of confidence* especially
after only seven practices as a team.

We got some growing pains out of
the way and we came up big against a

The Windsor Lancers womens soc¬
cer team kicked off thdr season with
a win against Brock and a loss against
Gudph,

In a rematch of last seasons first-
round playoff match against the
Gudph Gryphons, the lancers were
unabfe to exorrise their demons from
a 1-O bssin the playoffs, felling victim
to a breakaway goal in the 87th min ¬
ute and suffering the same one-goal
ddeat

Lancers head coach Steve Hart said
the toss was not due to a lack of efibit
of tell possession, but an inability to
score on the Gryphons,

'*We dominated the game, we ted
more of the possession until the 87th
minute when they got a breakaway
right through die middle and scored,"
said Hart Tfe the old adage, you can
have all the possessions you want
but if you dont score you dont win
games. The girls were very upset

WTtn K!1CraQri€f iTM? BfaFll On

in the players last year, we were look¬
ing fora little bit of revenge “

With die loss to Gudph fresh in their
memories, the Lancers faced off
against Brock and came away with
a 2-0 win Windsor fielded a young
team against the Badgers with up to
four rookies on the field at anytime
throughout the match. After not
playing at all against Gudph, first
year Lancer Iordan Carr had a strong
game in her OUA debut, playing a
foil 90 minutes against Brock.

Carr said it was nerve-racking play¬
ing in her first OUA game but once
the whistle blew, the nerves went
away.

'The pace is definitely a change than
what I played before and it’s fun play¬
ing with all the girls and on a whole
new level ” said Carr. “Gcdph was a
tough loss but we came back together

and all played together as a team
against Brock, foats how we got our

win because we played really wdl to¬
gether

Hart was not short of compliments
when describing the rookie Can's
level ofpiay in her first OUA match.

“She did really wdL she stood out
like a beacon;’ said Hart “She kept
her head focused, came in and did
great 16 an amazing capability for a
young girl to come in at this level to
do that so I was very proud of her”

The Lancers did not wait long to get
on the scoreboard, as Giulia Batik
opened the scoring early in the first
half with an individual effort just
nine minutes into the match. Rookie
Cassie Chretien scored her first OUA
career goal in the 33rd minute and
pushed Windsors lead to 2-0. Keeper
Krystin Lawrence earned the Lancets
shutout in goaL

Carr said now that the team has two

ment going forward, their communi¬
cation with one another on the pitch.

"If we keep talking and moving off
the ball like we were, 16 obviously
going to come with more ^mes and
getting to know die team betterf said
Carr. “Communication will hdp a
lot”

The win gives the Lancers a 1-1 re¬
cord on the season heading into a
pair of games against the McMaster
Marauders and York lions, Sept
5 and 6. While the Lancets sport a
strong team. Hart said the team is stiD
looking for a final piece to foe puzzle,

Tecumseh Thunder Win Sr. Baseball National Championship

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Tecumseh Thunder senior dub
team had to travel all foe way to Cha¬
tham, N.B. for a chance to claim a
Canadian championship, bra a 4-1
victory over Quebec Aug 23 made
up for foe heartbreak of a year prior
when foe Thunder came iq> short in
foe title game.

Thvnder head coach Jamie Kell said
even though the team they had last
year was great, they still needed a few
pieces after coming up short.

“We had that taste of silver all year?
said KdL “Right horn our winter
workouts that was the talk. We tried
to build the team around our experi¬
ence oflast year.”

With foe national title again car foe
line, the Thunder would not be de¬
nied

Tecumseh started quickly, as catcher
Eric Cunningham scored in the first
inning on a wild pitch by Quebec
starter Francois Lafreniere Mitch

Delaneys single scored Paul Laman-
tia in the fourth to make it 2-0. The

Thunder added two more runs in the
fifth when Lamantias single scored

Kevin Mailtoux and Sean Bignall
came home on another Lafreniere

wild pitch.

After dropping foe opening game

of foe tournament to Quebec 1-0,
Tecumseh scored 42 runs in file five

“With foe experience oflast year, we
knew we couldn’t let foe bats go silent
alaCsaidKdL

In the semi finals, the Thunder were
12 outs away from elimination.
Down 1-0 entering foe bottom of the
fourth inning, Tecumseh exploded
for 12 runs over the next three in¬

nings to rout Fredericton, N.B., 12-2
and advance to the gold-medal game

Lamantia, who was named the tour¬
naments top hitter, paced foe rally,
scoring three times and driving in
five runs, including a grand slam.
Delaney, who had such a successful
tournament that he was twice named
to the all-star team - at first base and
designated hitter - added three hits
and two RBIs, as did Ryan Kerstens.
Thunder shortstop Brandon Gignac
was also named to the all-tourna¬
ment team.

Gignac was a member ofthe Tecum¬
seh Junior team, which won the 21

and under division Canadian cham¬
pionship last seasoa

“Winning the Senior Canadian
championship this year was a great
experience, especially after coming in
second last year? said Gignac. “Com¬
ing up from Juniors is a pretty big
step, but having more experienced
guys around made the transition
easier. Ive played at both levels at the
Nationals now and you see a lot of
ex-pros and smarter baseball play¬
ers in Senior balL You have to have a
good approach at every bat, play weC
defensively every pitch, and play foe
game the right way?

Lancers Football Team Falls To
Mustangs in OUA Opener

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

It was a rough start to the OUA regu¬
lar season for the Windsor Lancers
football team, as they M to the West¬
ern Mustangs 76-7 at Alumni Field

Lancers head coach Joe DAmore said
1he loss was not a reflection of the
kind offcotbaH team Windsor has,

“Are they a better football team than
us? Of course they are*’ said DAmore.
“But are they a 76-7 better football
team than us* Id like to believe not
Early on I thought the defense played
relatively well but offensively, weVe
got a young group; especially at quar¬
terback and we couldn't initiate any
first downsT

The visiting Mustangs built a 10-0
lead just two minutes into the game
and scored two touchdowns in the
final minute of the second quarter to
push their lead to 33-0 at halftime

'They have one freshmen dressing
on their roster but other than that
they're a veteran football team,” said
DAmore. 'They're running on all
cylinders and when you’ve got two
young guys playing quarterback for
the first time in the OUA, you see the
jitters and early on we missed some
throws, had some drops and that puts
you behind the eight-ban right awayT

While the Mustangs offense racked
up over 750 total yards, thdr defense
held the Lancers to 195 yards and
also kept the home team off of the
scoreboard until Tarrence Crawford
scored Windsor’s lone touchdown at
2:30 of the fourth quarter.

Crawford led the Lancm on the
ground with 73 yards and a TD,
while kkker Anthony Malandrac-

cob finished the game with 444
punting yank Crawford said now
that Windsor has a game under their
belt, all of the Lancers can do is lode
forward to tlieir remaning schedule

“We have a very young team, a very
young offenseT said Crawford ‘AD
we can do is watch the film, see what
we did wrong and hopefully fix it for
our next game against Toronto*

In preparation for a Labour Day
game against Toronto^ Crawford said
Windsor s offense simply needs to ex¬
ecute at a higher levd

“We just need to move the ball get
first downs and score” said Crawford
“We put our defense on the field a lot
today so our offense needs to keep
moving the ball scone, rush the trail
better, pass the ball better and im¬
prove as a team* If we improve as a
team on offense and defense we’ll be
alright”

For the Mustangs, Alex Taylor led the
visitors ground attack with 144 yards

and one touchdown* while receiver

Matt Uren finished with 104 yards
and a touchdown

Lancers rookie safety Spencer Trinier
had no shortage of playing time or
production in his OUA debut The
Herman product recorded a quar¬
terback sack, a fumble recovery four
special tackles and multiple tackles as
Windsor’s starting safety. In reflection
on the defenses performance, Trinier
said they must communicate better
when adjusting to opposing offenses
formations,

“We got our first test, jumped right
in headfirst and we played Western
They are one of the top teams in die
country let atone the OUAT said
Trinier, “We see where we match

tangs in OUA football action at Alumni Field r Aug. 30.

up and we have to fix and what we
have to make better, they were a bet¬
ter team today but 1 don’t think 76-7
bete?

DAmore added that historically
tlie Lancers liad been a team which
started off the season well and faded
towards th e end of the year.

"We have to look at it thatway*, may¬
be we could be a team that struggles
early and plays better at the end,” said
DAmore "We’ve stiD got seven more
games to be successful I think the
ntoieyousitanddweflon atosslike

this foe more itfc going to sit with the
players* Lets see where we made our
mistakes and get ready 7 for Toronto”

The Lancers come back home five

days after battling the Toronto Varsity
Blues to face the Carieton Ravens at
Alumni Field, Sept 12 Kick-off is 1

Matthew^ Dunlop, said coming into res-

and emotionally;

"One of the biggest things I would tell
students to do is smifef said Dunlop.
“Even though sometimes it is difficult
to cope with the feet you re not living at
home, smiling and taking deep breaths
are going to make the transition a tot

easier Every organism in the wodd
needs air and were no different - well
lighten up when were nervous.”

Duntop said opening up to people and
smiling is the first step to becoming the
Lancer that is inside everyone on cam¬
pus.

The students all had mandatory floor
meetings at £30 pm after they got ac¬

quainted in tbdr rooms* roommates

“With living on residence you are a lot
closer to the facilities and frailties on

New Restaurant Looks to Provide

The university has welcomed new own¬
ership and taste onto their campus in
conjunction with the GS&

Mare Nostrum, a bar and restaurant on
the comer of Sunset Avenue and Fanch-
etie Street, is offering a wide selection
of foods as wefl as their Mediterranean
specialty including many ghiten free
and vegan dishes.

The bar officially opened July 20 and
is owned by recent university graduate
Adam El-Dika and Chef Ahmad Sanji*
who was in culinary school in Lebanon
for five years.

“The first thing we decided when we
opened the restaurant was to make sure
there is a lot of diversity in the menu," 5
said El-Dika, “We specialize in Middle
Eastern dishes, but we also have some
Italian and Greek pastas as weD as burg¬
er and wrap sections on the menu!'

El-Dika said ever since the dosing of the
Thirsty Scholar Pub on campus a few
years ago the school has been missing
a place where students, jkmfty and staff
can come har^ out and grab something
to eat He said he hopes Mare Nostrum
restaurant can fin that void

The restaurant has an indoor capacity
of 71 and also has a patio which can
hold M* The smaller verne has not off
put business though, as El-Dika said
the restaurant has been busier than he

could have expected - especially since
the school year had not started yet

‘Its totally unexpected but this past
week has been insane and we've literal¬
ly filled up every table inside and ouC
said El-Dika, ‘‘This past Friday we got
to the point where we had to turn away
aistomers. Some of them took take-out
but the amount of people that have been
coming in is more than we could have
im^rined”

Mare Nostrum lias been featured on
GBC their tweets have been seen and
re-tweeted by the Windsor Econom¬
ic Development Group and has been
partnering with university 1 groups to
promote the business. El-Dika said
getting the name out there is one of the
most important things.

According to El-Dika, expansion is
something they have not yet considered
as it is only the first few wedb of busi¬
ness. However they have begun take-

out and off* campus delivery however on
top of updatir^ their delivery services to
be more affordable for students, Mare
Nostrum is also revampir^ their menu
to accommodate large groups with
sharing platters and a few' more menu
options.

Everything chi the menu is under $10
except for new sharing platters, which
will be added to the menu. For more
information check out their Eacebook

University Encourages Consent
with New Sexual Assault Policy

Dr Rachel Griffin shares herpersonal story to raise awareness

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

The University of Windsor has recently
updated their policy on sexual assault
and the actions to be taken if it happens
on campus.

In light of this* they have started to raise
awareness on the grounds as early as day
one, when resident students moved in*
Through this they hope to avoid any

According to Dr Rachel Griffin, the
schoofs new policy will not eliminate
die problem kit it will help some cases
of it and also hdp the survivors who go
through it

Tm here because of die three billion
women on this planet right now one*
third of us will be abused, beatsi or
raped in their lifetime,'* said Griffin
‘"That means we could fill up the Rog¬
ers Centre in Toronto, with a capadtv of
54,000 over 18,000 times with women
who have been akrsed, beaten or forced
to have sex.”

with rape and how she thought because
of her circumstances and who the per¬
son who took advantage of her, no one
would bdieve her or think it was true.
She said it took her seven years to fi¬
nally tdi someone after a sexual assault
lecture.

"Ninety-nine percent of the time perpe¬
trators of sexual assault are male, how¬
ever, adaxwdedging that statistic is not
mak-bashing rather it is a painful re¬
ality of our amtemporary soaeiyf said
Griffin "I need you to know that most
men do not hurt women but most men
know men who do*

Griffin said her hope for the campus
and the outside area m for people to
learn to use their voice when they see
or hear of any type of abuse on a global
scale She also encouraged people who
have been hurt to come forward and let
someone know they need hdp.

"Victims of sexual violence deserve to

be treated with cam with compassion
and with respect - no exception^” said
Griffin. "We can choose to understand
that silence is not an option and words
are not enough* Action is required”

Griffin asked the members present to
create a campus where people are com¬
fortable to come forward and talk with¬
out worrying of judgement

Griffin expressed people should want
“enthusiastic consent" 1 over taking ad¬
vantage of someone else.

Dt Clayton Smith, vice provost and
dean of student affairs, said the wom¬
en who experience sexual violence will
have it happen before, after or during
their post-secondary education He said
the new policy is to hdp avoid or hdp
with situations during the post-second¬
ary experience

“What if we hdp the bystanders become
active” said Smith. “We bought m an
idea from the University ofNew Hamp¬
shire stating if we train our students in
particular.* * to stop these things bom
happening, it would hdp m deal with
the statistics of sexual assault”

Smith said this was done in 2010 and
they have made decisions to train stu¬
dents including running courses in
several frailties and resident hafls, and
doing research which he said makes a
difference

"Last year around this time, we had four
instances ofsexualviolence on our cam¬
pus in the first weekT said Smith. "One
of the instances resulted in suspending
a student firm the university on arrival
weekend”

Smith said following this a draft policy
was created and a working group was
established, which he chairs in, and they
are pushing it this year Smith said he is
hoping for the policy to be reviewed and
completed by the end of this edrcation
year.

Smith said educating the campus body
will hdp with the problem and that a
co ntinuum alongside file policy will

make the campus a safe place.

"We worked hard in the spring months
to try and get Dr. Griffin to come and
speak here** said Smith

“A lot of people questioned why we
would have her speak on opening
day and I tell them because that’s
the time sexual violence can start”

Smith said he% very grateful Dr Griffin
came out and spoke and bdieves it will
make a difference on campus and out¬
side of it

The residence move in day, which
kicked off Windsor Welcome Week
was done so under an ouieptionaUv
burning sun With the heat adding on
to what was an already exhausting day
for new and returning students, they
had the importunity to kickback as the
sun went down and a screen was pro¬
jected up.

Towards the evening, the residence
quad served as the area to hold the out¬
door movie night, which is hdd every
year during the welcome week for free.
The night was geared towards first year
students who wanted to take the chance
to wind down and relax while watching
the two films screened: "Mean Girls and
'Despicable Me

"We actually locked up what are the top
movies for people in this age range and
Mean Girls' was number one. like

this generation^ The Breakfast Club,”

A tew dozen students attended the dou¬

a stress-free event where students can

the event was free to everyone on or off

Hot dagp and burden were being
cooked in the midst of the moving day
frenzy and it was all fora valiant cause.

In between the Cartier and Vanier res¬
idence buildings die Shinerama bar-
beque was parked and underway as
Shine Day finds itself on the horizon.
Shinerama is the largest post-second¬
ary fundraiser in the nation, with over
60 different colleges and universities as
acting participants. AD proceeds hum
the baibeque go towards the UWindsor
Shinerama campaign* which in turn do¬
nates to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

'Cystic fibrosis is die most common fe¬
tal genetic disorder affecting young Ca¬
nadian^ said organizer Jessica TetreaulL
"Everything that we da all die money
we raise is going direedy to binding a
cure or control, and were getting really
dose so its a really erafing time to be
involved with Shinerama”

Tetneauk said the goal for this years
UWindsor campaign is $20,000, com¬
pared to the near $10,000 raised last
year Aside from the residence move in
day, fre harbeque wiD be stationed at
every night of any UWIndsor test event
until Shine Day rolls along By then,
they will head into the dty asking for
donations, afl while holding car washes,
singing, dancing, and gaming on top
of the barbeque. One of die things Te-
treanlt is gunning for is to have a strong
presence of LlWindsor students both in

pumped to bring everyone out,” Te¬
treault said ‘"Were trying really liard this

One of the ax>rdinators of the event

factor to raise money

“Its a beautiful day outside - you canft

beat this weather? said Botvin. “Hope-

reach our goal.”

All the bikm gm thdr pledges also re¬
ceived a t-shirt for participating.

2015 NAB A Championships
Brings Thousands to Windsor

RRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

Windsor sm^d host to thousands of
Filipinos from across the globe where
a love of basketball an increased sense
of camaraderie, unity, culture and corn-
rnunity pride took centre stage at the
2015 North American Basketball Tour¬
nament

The Windsor Bridgeans took on the
immense task of organizing the annual
Labour Day weekend event as almost
a dozen venues were used to schedule
neariy 150 teams in five different divi¬
sions for the doubJe-eliinination tour¬
nament

Windsor Bridgeans is a not for profit,
Filipino basketball program in Wind¬
sor established in 2011 by two brothers*
Reggie and Russ Salazar who save as
co-directors alongside Gilbert Gallant
What first began with only one team,
now boasts teams in ail five tourmmert
divisions indudk^ bantam, juvenile.

open menfe, open ladies and masters.

Reggie Salazar spoke with gratitude
when he praised the support of count*
less hard-workii^ committee membm
which has allowed the Bridgeans to
blossom into a basketball organization
able to host and execute the NABA
tournament so flawlessly despite the
event coming to Windsor for foe first
timesmoe 199L

'Windsor has set high standards in
providing our guests with comfortable
acmmmodattons, improved venues,
energetic games and hospitality” said
Salazar ‘We as a group organized for
over one year, we have made every dfort
to provide our NABA guests with an ex¬
perience that will be truly memorable”

The name “Bridgearts” was established
by Gil Panganibaa who also founded
the North American Basketball As¬
sociation. Fanganibaris hometown in
foe Philippines is connected by bridge
where he traveled to see his IriendsaaKi
play basketball Bridgeans was deemed

for foe Windsor Filipino team
because the Ambassador bridge in the
city is a such wefi-known structure and
is meant to symbolize a road to aspira¬
tions,

Salazar said besides the athletic compe¬
tition, the tournament provides an op¬
portunity for people of Filipino descent
from around the world to meet one
another and embrace fodr culture and
community-

“By putting on a showcase like this, it
shows what Windsor is aB abouC said
Salazar 'This is definitely a huge com¬
munity effort to put this together, being
at so many different venues, it takes so
many different individual efforts to
make this a success'*

Each year foe NABA tournaments are
located in different Canadian and US
dries such asToronto Newmarket, Mis*
sissauga and Detroit NABA has proven
to be the largest Filipino invitational

ca, This year, with 143 teams participat¬

ing in the tournament representing 26
dries around the world, hotel accom-
nKxlations were very scarce foroughout

To the Filipino community in gener¬
al Salazar said foe NABA Labour Day
tournament is a highlit of foe year for
some families.

It means a lot to us to have this event?
said Salazar. ‘We dorit have many
events Ifc this but when we do this on a
yearly basis, it brings everyone together,
it brings camaraderie, unity and support
fcrone another”

The tournaments opening ceremony
boasted a Miss NABA contest with six
participants squaring off for foe crown
of University of Windsor student Ma-
rissa Bumanlag, who was named Miss
NABA in 2014 when foe tournament
was hosted in Glendale Heights, USA

Tt has been an honour to be miss
NABA 2014? said Bumanlag Tt is a
prestigious tide that displays foe ideal
spokeswoman of foe North American
Basketball Association, forough true
Filipina beauty exemplified not just on
the outside, but through moral charac-
terandpoise”

Bumanlag is majoring in an Honours
in Political Science degree with a goal to
become a lawyer after her undergradu¬
ate studies are complete Prior to being
named Mss NABA 2014, Bumanlag
was a point guard and captain of the

Remembering the
Horrors of Wes Craven

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

Wes Graved filmography is not the
most distinguished. Nobody can doubt
the dassdcs under his bek, but they ar¬
rived too far in between to call him a
consistent filmmaker. So when news
broke ofhis death on August 30th, initial
reaction was fairly passive. But perhaps
ifc a rather cold thing to say, even if he
was never one of my favourite directors*
For upon further examination, credit
must be given where ife due

Films are lovely works of art, but theres
something special when it comes to the
honor genre Then& a levd of crafts'
manship and technique required to
make an eflbctivdy unsettling expe¬
rience. At times you even need a bit of
resourcefulness and panache, where

you know the material you have can be
made into something goldea This no¬
tion could be why the genre is mainly
void of quality and instead oversftiflfod
with lazy efforts. A good honor film
released now could constitute as a great
one given the apparent drought So with
the loss of Wes Craven, honor is in a
state of honor as it tidy lost one of its
leading figures.

Hera a fun feet Prior to Gravers feature
dd^ he was working asapom director
under a series of difiereot aliases. It was
in 1972 when he made his mark with
Tire Last House on the Left Filmed
with a budget of less toan $90,000, the
film ended up being censored in many
countries due to its graphic depiction of
violence and sexual assault 1 wasahor-
rar film absent ofa monster or some un¬
known entity as a villain. The monsters

were escaped convicts and hardened
killers, and the film showcased a degree
ofvidence, which is deeplyunsetftingto
this day due to how real it fdt and how it
has the potential in beingareality While
the film now is rather jarring due to its
musical score, it stiD succeeds in bring¬
ing a chill down the spine of the viewer
duetoilsrawpartrayaL

Twelve years later, Craven brought what
is undoubtedly his most popular film:
A Nightmare on Elm Street! On top
of having the audacity to give a young
Johnny Depp an awfully Woody fete, the
film femously messed around with the
perceptions and expectations of its an-
dioice. ft did so in a highly imaginative
way As Freddy Kruger terrorized chfl-
dren by killing them in their dreams, the
film blurred the line between wh^ was
real and what wasn’t Craven also con¬

ceived a highly distinct villain in Kruga-
himself by providing him a personali¬
ty, which was remarkably captured by
Robert Engjunds performance

Then oddly enough. 12 years after
TTightman* he made what was arguably
his last great film with ‘Saeam During
the greater half of the 1990s, the honor
genre was looking to be on its death¬
bed sentenced to an eternity of obscu¬
rity via direa-to-video B-movies. With
■Scream there came a dever take on the
genre as the films characters came with
knowledge of honor films. They at¬
tempted to use the knowledge to escape
toe tenor caused by the villain Ghost-
face, ft was a gamble, which paid off as
horror found an unlikely companion
in comedy It hdped revive the genre,
whkh was so dose on its way out toe
door by seamlessly merging biting satire

with a tense slasher fikk

Ife hard to say where toe genre would
be today had it not been for Cravens
involvement Perhaps there may have
been a lack of audience subveraon, and
i is possible the envelope for violence
wouldn't have been pushed to the same
extent At any rate, bis contribution is
invaluable

Hes not without some stinkers of
course. The sequels to “Scream never
readied toe same kvd of quality as the
original. There was an ift-foted misfire
m Vampire in Brooklyn and ‘My Soul
to 'Bke* was )ust plain awful Bur when
he was on point, be delivered an expert-
ence very few fitmimkers could match,
whkh is why hell live on through his
wodc for years to come

Afiera tough stretch of four matches on
die road to be^n the regular season* the
Lancers soccer program is calling for
large crowds during ife homeHspener
weekend against the Waterloo Warriors
and Laurier Golden Hawks,

A pair of home games is just what title
Lancers need after a pair of weekend
mad trips yielded mixed results. This
past weekend* the Lancer womens soc¬
cer team dropped both g^mes on their
road trip to the McMaster Marauders
and York lions* while die mens team
came away with a sense of lost oppor¬
tunity after a 2-i loss to the 2015 CIS
national runner-up Marauders and a
2-2 draw against the 2015 QS national
champions, the Lions,

Sept 5 the women dropped a tight !-0
loss to the Marauders before felling 2-1
to York Sept 6. The women are now
1-3 heading into thdr first set of home
games next weekend

Lancers head coach Stew Hart said al¬
though the women have played wdl in
stretches over the first four matches* it is
consistency that the team is stiD hoping
to achieve,

"Wdre still trying to figure ii ouC said

fkut "We draft deserve to oome away

fiom these games wife no points in the
standing! On another d^> we could
have gottm better results.”

Against the Marauders* fee two teams
looked even in the opening half as each
was able to craft its for share of scoring
opportunities Windsor's best scoring
chance of fee half came in fee 31st min¬
ute,when Lancer midfielder Pattens Ste¬
phens heavy shot just soared wide offee
home sicfesfar post

Nine minutes later, it was the hosts who
found the gatnds evening tally as Maila
Gaiboni netted the pmek lone goal by
chestk^ down a bouncing ball in the
boot* tumii^ and firing a well-placed
shot into the top comer of the Wind¬
sor net Thai would be the only goal
of match as the Marauders came away
wifea 1-G victory.

Hart said Windsor s start was much too
slow to keep up wife McMaster, who is
a top program in the OUA.

“This is a benchmark ^me because
they are always up there,” said Hart “We
made a lot of rookie mistakes in the first
halfbut made our halflime adjustments
and played much better in the second
half

On Sunday the first half saw fee Lions
control fee pace of the game by domi¬
nating fee possession of fee ML The
Windsor women regrouped at halftime
and came out stronger in the final for¬
ty-five minute.

In fee 54th minute in fee second half
the Lancers opened the scoring wife a
tally poked by York goalkeeper Taylor
Giant after a de&nsbre breakdown that
led to an odd-man advantage in the di¬
rection of Yoiks net, ultimately leading
to fee opening goal by Lacey Marooux

Yorks Nour Ghoneim scored the equal¬
izer in the 62nd minitfe ate York drew
a a>ntruversial foul inside the 20-yard

box. Ghoorim stepped up and placed
fee ball into the right hand comer of
fee net, which was just out of the reach
of sprawling Windsor keeper Krystin
Lawrence,

York freshman Kiyani Johnson came on
in the second half to score the Lions go-
ahead goal in fee 72nd minute to take
fee lead for good Windsor pressed late
for fee equalizer but was unable to capi¬
talize on their opportunities.

Hart said the teams character during fee
loss was admirable, but fee youth of fee
team was evident in the pair of weekend
losses.

,v We had four or five rookies at a time on
fee ptech, which is great progress for the
program," said Hart "We were attacking
teams while we were down but we don’t
want to hit our peak one week and go
through ^ valley fee next Consistency is
what we want to see and feat is our job
as coaches,”

The mens team was able to escape wife
one point aver fee weekend against two
of the top four ranked teams in Cana¬
da, Windsor is now 2-1-1 on the season
as they head into their first home games
of2015 againstWfoterioo

A^inst the Marauders, Windsor start¬
ed vey skw and that resulted in a 2-0
deficit at halftime against fee Na4

ranked team in fee CIS.

“We played awful in the first half said
Hart “The men knew how we felt as
coacheswhenwe spoke to them at half¬
time In the second half we were unable
totie it up even though we were all over
them for the last 10 to 15 minutes!'

In fee end, it was too Me, too late as ly-
owuna Jumbo scored in fee 84fe min¬
ute to cut fee deficit in haifbutWindsor
would score no more, Ming 2-1 and
dropping fedr first game of the OUA
regular season.

The next day saw Windsor matched
up against die defending CIS nation¬
al champions from York. Both teams
played an aggressive style coupled with
crisp ball movement, solid defensive
strategy and stout goalkeepmgbut each
side tallied a goal to make the score 1-1
at halftime

The Lions opened the scoring in the
35th minute when Matt Stinson re¬
ceived a toudi pass just outside the
20-yard box which Stinson capitalized
on and shot past Windsor goalkeeper
Kyle Vizirakk In the 42nd minute fee
Lancers attacked fee Lions midfield and
launched a deep shot that was totally
saved but a large rebound allowed the
Lancers to capitalize when Leighton
Speechky-Price teqpped the batt in for
bis third goal of the season

Windsor took a 2-1 lead in fe e 70fe on
some fency footwork and finishing abil¬
ity from Pio to set u^
finish Goalkeeper Vizirakis stood on
his head againstYork, making save after
save during the waning minutes of the
match but he and the Lancers defence
couldn’t withstand the pressure of the
Lions offence as they allowed the tying
goal by )arek Whiteman with less than
two minutes remaining.

Despite fee quality of the opponent.
Hart was candid in thoughts about tying
fee defending national champions.

Tve never felt so sick after tying YodC
said Hart “And to be mad about tying
fee national champions speaks about
our program and where it has oome
Both trams battled but we canoniykxk
atoursdvesT

Hart said the result against York has

prompted rival coaches to acquire film
of fee match to try and copy Windsor^
success,

“They're all asking me how we have
done if said Hart “This just proves that
we don't need to be scared of anybody.
Any of the top four teams in the OUA

Windsor will play their first home
games of fee season this coming week-
aid when they host the Waterloo War-
riots and Laurier Golden Hawks. The
Yfenkxs come to town Sept I I while
fee Hawks head down the 401 Sept 13.

Video Game Review - Metal

PLATFORMS:

PS4, XBO, PC, PS3, X360

Those whoVe delved in their fair share
of video games have probably heard of
Metal Gear Solid either by passing or
through firsthand experience. Its in-
ventive, convoluted, and downright in¬
sane at times. Yet it has managed to be
an oddly profound military saga and a
stunning action/stealfo series ever since
its traiHazing 199$ debut.

With ‘Metal Gear Solid V; The Phan¬
tom creator Hkfeo Kbjima m un-

^^-^Sfotedly maridng it as the series* swan
sting. One would think therdfl be some

amount of deviations Phantom Pain
makes from die series' game play and
narrative tropes brings a title which
stands tall on its own while still retaining
the essence of the series,

The nooks and crannies of the Metal
Gear story would require its own index.
Those who go in blind will be lost as to
who the characters are, and will fell to
understand the context of numerous
plot points. In the simplest of terms, it
tells the final chapter of legendary mer¬
cenary Big Boss and how his quest for
revenge leads to his steep moral dedine,
bringing the saga to full duck This
journey towards revenge leads you to
building a private army so you can strike
back against the organization known as

Pleasure From the Pain

Cipher From die tense hour long pro¬
logue to foe mature sifojed: matter being
portrayed, it carries a much darker tone
than its predecessors.

Earlier enHies in the series were heavy
on semantics, with game play consist¬
ing of linear sequences which gave you
plenty of tools to outsmart your ene¬
mies. The audio/visual presentation
for every tide has been top notch The
Phantom Pain is no exception as die
gamdi FGXengtoe faaroaringtedmkal
achievement

But this entry deviates bom the formula
in several ways. Instead of reliance on
cut-scenes, foe narrative largely rests in
conversations recorded between key
characters. More recording become
available the further you progress in foe
story, but the choice otTistening fells into
foe player. Instead of tightly structured
game play jxjtire given a sandbox to
play in as youl be going hack and forth
between foe desert in Soviet-ocoped
Afghanistan and foe African savannah.
You undergo a great wealth of missions
and operations, and more importantly
youre given carte blanche in bow you
WWBIl * " ■ W I,, B *

Lets say you stumble upon a fortress
crawling with Soviet troops. You re to
find and extract a prisoner. You can go
far a completely stealthy approach, us¬
ing nothing but a tranquilizer gun as
you carefaUy mark your enemies and
pinpoint the prisons focatiorL Or you
could take the opposite route and go
in blazing, moving fest with everyone
knowir^ your location Better yet, why
not raise havoc without anybody know¬
ing you're there? Cali in an air strike to
create a diversion cm one end while you
sneak and extract from the other. Or
ym could always just pick off the troops
from a far out vanl^e point, all while
listening to Hall and Oates' ‘Maneater*
Tlebd Yeff from Billy kid or several

other 80s trad© which are located across

the game world via cassette tapes,

are wekumed e vsn

if certain missions may encourage one
over another. Enemies are intellig en t
enough to pose as a legitimate threat
during sneaking sections, keeping you
on your toes. But with enough skill and
foe right tools, they can be exploited
through comk and unconventional
methods. What makes the sandbox
design admirable is bow it doesn't be¬
come bogged down with half-baked
side activities which tend to plague most
open world gimes, Ihe world is used
as a driving force to deeply enhance the
aetion/steafth game play which is and
always has been a series hallmark,

AD of what you do on foe fidd con¬
tributes towards building your Mother
Base The people you extract, the mon¬

ey you make from missions and foe
resources you obtain during missions,
They all go towards further developing

your base into a M-iledged militaiy
complex, complete with numerous de¬
partments Ks also a way to develop vast
amounts of weapons and equipment,
as well as further enhance foe soldiers
you have under your command These
devetopments directly contribute to foe
core game {day as they lead to more op¬
tions in how you pursue later misacms
Periodically visting the base itself is also
an important factor as it maintains staff
morale as weB as Big Boss'own physical
and mental state. The game is successful
in making you actually fed like the fead-

erofa top private military form

While not without some minor flaws,
theyre dwarfed by the. p within
the core action/steaMi game play and
foe comprehensive grand design which
supports it Itmmiages tobeccFnristentiy
exciting, and an inherently personal ex¬
perience which demands to be played
The Phantom Pain gives you a near un¬
precedented amount to woric with, and
foe best thing about it is how ife all uti¬
lized fells into foe player's hands. They
are able to dictate foe pace of the game
play and the narrative. No two expert-
axes wiB ever be the same, malting it
compulsively playable.

Movie Review - Mad Max: Fury

Summer’s ‘Maddest’ Movie

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

This summer brought some major hits
to thebig screen but one stood out tome
more than any other

'Mad Max: Fury Boa d> the Austra¬
lian-based post-apocalyptic sd-fi, began
screening eariy this summer on May
15 and took a lot of old fens and new¬
comers to the series by surprise. The
hgh-octane feature had an aH-star cast,
a beautiful setting and a deeper than
apparent plot which told a new and dd
story

Director of the original trilogy ended in

1985, George Miller, again took re^ns
of the new project Replacing the orig¬
inal Max, Mel Gibson, was actor Tom
Hardy Hardy a man <rf few words in
the film* portrays the perfect Max with
a deeper sense of emotion portrayed
throughferial features, grants and flash¬
backs.

The film starts ctf with Max bemgc^
tured by cuft members of the War Boys
led by Immortan foe played by Hugh
Klesys-Byme After being tied up and
treated as a human Wood-sac far foe
War Boys, Max escapes and teams up
with a group of unlikely castaways in¬
cluding Imperator Furiosa played by
Charfee Iheran, and five of Immortan

Joes wives.

Together they attempt to escape on the
Wfer Rig! which is a custom designed
death truck, used to transport oil and
commit mass homicide Together, with
a very unirusting mood set towards one
another, the group heads out to find a
land tabled to be fit for sustainir^ life:

"Mad Max! Fury Road tefls the story erf
a madman sentenced to fear nothing
other than his past, himself and getting
boo dose to others. The muted Hardy
portrays an attitude of sdf-sustainability
and brakenness, Through quick flash*
backs, we see glimpses of Maxs life and
how it b to be believed he became the

way he was.

Mix the psychotic killer in with a War
Bo^s leader, Immortan foes wives and a
War Boy loyal, you get acrew as crazy as
foe protagonist

The fast-pace and comedy in the movk
keep you on edge for foe fiil two hours.
With no breathing breaks, foe film at¬
tacks you with violence car chases and
awesome vehicles only foe Mad Max

team could offer.

When I first watched the film, I was on
edge foe wbde time either laughing or
dealing with constant exotemerrt; sad*
ness and other mixed emotions.

The film, although not far the feint of
hart, offers everything a good movie
should have and more. It is one of the
bestfilms released rn a long time.

Women’s Soccer

Hie Lancer womoi soccer program
looks to continue their strong perfor¬
mance from 2014 The women hosted
a home playoff game after finishing the
season with an 8-7-1 record to place
fourth overall in the OUA West A
heartbreaking oma-tiraelossto
in the 6m round has left the l.ancers
hungry for continued success in the teg¬
ular aiKl postseason*

Windsor brings in a strong group of
focal recruits which I.ancen» director of
soccer operations and head coach Steve
Hart hopes will make an immediate im¬
pact on the fidd Four members of tbs
LaSalle Stampers join the Hue and gold
including midfielder Paiten Stephens as
wdl as defenders Keelv Baggio, Jordan
Carr and Daiuelh Vafente.

Tecumsehs Brittany CM from the
Michigan Gators will pin the Lancers
in the backfidd, while Kristin Mdoof
the Bastade Kkkm will play midfield
Additional recruits include Toronto®
Jcnysas Gordon and transfer Lacey
Marcotix from Notre Dame College in
Ohio

In addition to these esoting reouifcs,the
Lancer women return veterans Laura
Lecce and Meg Roberts to anchor the
bade and will be rdkd on heavily Along
with these key comributcHs»QuIkBari-
fe, Cam Qrovskiand Tess Roberts in the
mid field and Krystin Lawrence in net,
the Lancers will prove to be a difficult
challenge to anyone in the league

After a disappointing L-0 loss to the
Guelph Gryphons in thdr opening
march, the women nfoounded and took
a 2-0 win against the Brock Badgers
The not weekend, the women would
be unable to come away with a point
against the McMaster Marauders or
York lions despite a strong effort

"‘On another day, we could have gptet
better results with the effort we put in
against McMaster and YorkT said Hart
iBut these are benchmark games be¬
cause those programs are always up at
the top of the OUA and to be the best,
youVe got to beat the best."

The Waterloo VtoTiors come to town
for Windsors home-opener match at
Alumni Rdd Sept II and the women
will kick-off the night with thdr match
at 6 pm before battling the Lanrier
Golden Hawks Sept 13 to an afternoon
mat* 1 at 1 pm

Men’s Soccer

The Lancer men are exdted to start
what looks like a promising year after an

intense training camp and preseason.
After posting an 8-7-1 record in 2014
the Lancers will look to improve on
those numbers and make a push to be
at the top of the OUA

With a strong incoming class led by re¬
cruits Noah Ffo, Jamar Redhead* Ldgh-
ton James Speechfey-Price, and Marcus
Diloreto, head coach Steve Hartbdteves
tiiey are capable of improving on last
years fifth place finish

"We have some exciting talent m the
roster this season,'' said Hart "We per¬
formed extremely well m our recent
pre-season road trip and game against
Ciodaro, giving a very mature and orga¬
nized performance, and I am confident
we can have a successful year”

The key to the Lancers success this sea¬
son will be die contribution of captain
and OUA all-star Tack Sargent, as the
fourth year midfiekier brings a great
deal of strength and leadership both on
and off the field Along with Sargent,
the Lancers will depend on fifth year
forward Mike Bo and second year raid-
fiddar Chris ALYoussef to hdp build
the foundation of the tom alongside
fourth year forward fyuwum Jumbo
and defensemen Tony Bdkenstajn and
AkbalGl

Harts recruiting dass has proved to be
successful so for as Redhead provided
the lone goal in a season opening win
against the Gudph Gryphons while
Speechley-Price scored twice in a 3-0
win over the Brock Badgers.

litis past weekend, the men took on
the McMaster Marauders and York
lions, both of which were in the 2014
CIS national finals. A sfoppy T first half re¬
sulted in a 2 -0 deficit at the break but an
improved effort in the second allowed
fiie Lancers to get one goal back in the
84lh minute, but were unable to get file
equalizer The next day the Lancers
trailed 1-0 before Speediley- Price put
home his third goal of the season in the
42nd and veteran Mike Pk> gave Wind¬
sor file lead in the 70th minute on an
individual effort

ft looked as though Windsor would
come away with a victory over the na¬
tional champions but in the waning
minutes of the second halt the im¬
mense pressure the lions put on the
Lancers would lead to the game-tying
goal despite some big save from keeper
Kyle Vjzirakts.

Hart said the fed his team was upset
about only tying last years national
cliampion speaks volumes about where
the program has come from and where
thdr potential

Tve never felt so skk after tying YodC
said Hart 1 bdievr the top four in the
OUA could win any division in the
country and were right there"

'Fhe soccer program hosts their

Football

TheLancm aim to improve on the 2014
season, which saw them finish with a
5-3 oor^rence mark and in fourth place
in the GUA standings. A quarter-final
playoff exit for the third straight year,
suffered at the hands of the Ottawa Gee
Gees, has left Windsor hungry for both
regular season and playoff success.

Lancers head coach Joe DAraore said
this is file fastest and most athletic team
the program has ever had

have a lot ot new feces, but bring back
a large group of veteran plsyerc to key
poritionsT said DAmore K We have to
continue to grow as a focibai (Earn and
I fed if some young guys step up early
we could have a diot to compete with
anyone.”

The graduation of key veterans Austin
Kdinedy, Evan Pszczonak and Dylan
Whitfield has left some holes to fill in
fire line-up but graduation also brings
opportunity for others who believe thdr
time has arrived

Although the Lancers lost all-star quar¬
terback Kennedy, offensively Wind¬
sor has two solid quarterback options
in Casey Wright and rodoe Dam Putt
who will lode to move the ball on the
ground as they have a strong pair of
choices in the running back position

Fourth year minting bade Tanenoe
Crawford fed the Lancers in mshingin
2014 with 477 yards in just six games
played, The Windsor, Oct native aver
<^ed 795 ysmds per pie and finished
the year with three touchdowns, while
third year running back Beau Lumley
led the Hue and gold in all-purpose
yards In 2014 with 929 - 463 rushing,
326 receiving ■ and had three touch¬
downs in seven games played

Now in his fifth season as head coach,
DAmore has brought in another solid
reovuting dass including a number of
standout players from the local Wtnd-
sor-Essex area, local recruits indude
safety Spencer Trinter return man Jay-
don Gauthier and running back Mar¬
cus Kentner, who all come from the

highly succ&sful WE Herman high

If a career in environmental sciences or
simply an interest in the subject spins
your intellectual wheds, saying 'YES'
may be the best thing for your future
endeavors.

The Essex Region Conservation Au¬
thority started the te YES Team” or Youth
Engagement Strategy Team several
years ago as a means for ERCA to en¬
gage and connect with area youth,

Caroline Biribaner is the Outreach
Coordinator for ERCA and said while
the YES Team has main goals to allow
members to network.learn and mentor
it also builds invaluable leadership skills.

"We knew youth can have a significant
positive impact on their communities
and in the environmental arena,” said
Biribaner 4< We wanted to invdve them
in this process, so the YES Team was
bom?

Membership m the YES Team is for 15-

29 year okis and allows any school

students, university and college students
to take join, Biribaner said the increas¬
ing interest by youth in Wmdsor-Essex
County 7 coupled with the coordination
efforts by ERCA staffand otha-resourc¬
es has resulted in countless interaction
with area youth over the years.

“It encourages youth to engage others^
said Biribauer. * *YESTeam members are
given the opportunity to take hands-on
action to improve our local environ¬
ment and are encouraged to leverage
their sodal networks to do the same,”

Taryn Azzopardi is a fourth year Envi¬
ronmental Science student and joined
YES to meet others in the community
who have the same interests, Azzopmh
added YES lets her embrace the out¬
doors while allowing her to make con¬
nections in this specific career field,

“Being on the YES Team has given us

some cool exclusive opportunities to
leam more about things the groups
members are specifically interested inT
said Azzopardi “These indude go¬
ing tree planting, native pollinator gar¬
den maintenance and dean ups> as well
as organizing Earth Day activities with

erca:

Azzopardi said the group has gone
on private owl prowls as wdl as visit¬
ed Devonwood Conservation Area to
leam about the native species of trees.
Most recently the YES Team went on
an outing to Fighting island which is an
islet in the Detroit River owned by BASF
Corporation.

It lias fadlitated some awesome learn¬
ing opportunities for us based on what
our members would like to leam more
about said Azzopardi. ‘“These are spe¬
cial opportunities for our members that
provide a great opportunity for learn¬
ing outside the dassroom and gives us
hands-on experience which allows us to
make connections in our communities,”

Tite YES Team is not actually based oui

of the University ofWindsor; akhot^h

many ofts members are current, past or
prospective students.

The group oammunicates primar¬
ily via a Facebooic group page and
emails. Group meetings and activities
are primarily coordinated through
ERCA and Biribaner, although team
members are always encouraged to
bring forth ideas and new members
who are interested in improving the fo¬
cal environment

41 Youth have such a keen interest in our
environment, we are always looking for
new members,” said Biribauaf! is a
privilege and an honour for me to work
with these young people. They have
such energy I love woriting with item”

A rivalry almost as old as the Ontar¬
io Hockey League became new once
again as the Windsor Spitfires beat the
Hint Firebirds in odiibition actba

Spitfires centie Logan Brown scored his
second goal of the preseason on a three-
way passing play late in the third period
and Cristiano DOarinto scored into
an empty net to seal a 4-2 Spitfires win
in rookie goaftender Michaud DiPtetrofe
first career abearance

It was first year Spitfires coach Rocky
Thompsons fim win behind the bench
in Windsor and said it was important
tor Ibe team and fen base to see a victory
after a 4-2 loss to the Oshawa Generals
the previous night

“There was more passion in our game,
more of a kind of bite” 1 said Thompson.
*We were ready to stand up for eadi
other which was nice and were ready to
do what it took to win the game tonight
We made some gpod plays late ~. It wasa
kind of gutsy so it was nice to see”

A crowd of 3,585 took in the preseason
aflairSepL 6y for the Firebirds first visitto
Windsor, who moved to Flint in the off¬
season after a long tenure as the Plym¬
outh Whalers. The Spitfires-Whalers
rivalry was not forgotten at Gompu-
ware Arena but rather rekindled, as
both teams each scored in a last-paced

first period with plenty ofphysicaiity.

After Firebird forward Cullen Mercer
opened die scoring with a backhand
shot over the shoulder of Spitfires start¬
er Michael DiPietro, it was Windsors
Daniil Verity took Cde Carter^ feed
from behind the Firebirds net and
scored quickly to even the score at 1-1
after 2D minutes.

The Spitfires killed a two-minute five-
on-three power pky opportunity for the
Firebirds eariy in the second period Tile
penalty kill unit was perfect on the day,
thwarting all four Hint man-advantag¬
es. Thompson said the Spitfires special
teams had very little preparation head¬
ing into the game but adjusted wdl the
verbal commands fora Windsor assis¬
tant coach Trevor Letowski

"We haven’t reaBy had time to practice
special teams at afl ~ but the guys adapt¬

have video to show players what their

Windsor would take a 2-1 lead in the
final minute of the second period when

The Windsor Lancers find themselves
in an 0-2 hole to begin the QUA regular
season after a one-point loss to the To¬
ronto Varaty Blues on Labour Day

Windsor^ 8-7 setback at Varsity Centre
featured no touchcfowns and was the
fust time the Blues had defeated the
Lancm since 2QGL Now Windsor will
look for their first win of the year when
the Carieton Ravens visit the Lancers
at Alumni Field Sept 12 with a 1 pm
kickoff

T thought the guys pkyed better than
a^inst Western but we just need to
move forward," said Lancers head coach
Joe DAmore. "Were 0-2, dials the real¬
ity of it We have a really good team in
Carieton coming in, they're young but
are pkying better and better every year
so were going to have to pky a real good
gametogetawin?

DAmore said the game against the
Blues was a tale of two halves - the first
of which saw the Lancers pky wdl and
show offensive progression while the
second only saw the team struggle to

move the ball and watch a 6-3 halftime
lead turn into an 8-7 loss.

“In the first half we had over250 yank of
offence, we ran the ball really wdl, com¬
pleted some passes and did some thin^
that we likeT said DAmore We stalled
in the second halt we saw some of our
yotflh again making mental mistakes
and not making the right reads at file
quarterback position We had receivers
running the wrong routes, making bad
deriskms and we only had 70 yards of
offense in the second half

Fourth year running back Tkreoce
Crawford kd the Lancers with 105
rushing yards on 15 carries and 38 yards
reoeivii^ Quarterback Casey Wright
finished the game connecting on 15-
for-27 passes for 126 yards and one in¬
terception in his first foil game asWind¬
sor's starter.

First year running bade Jtydon Gauth¬
ier tallied 107 all purpose yards on 13
carries, five receptions and one kkkoff
return.

A combination of two field goals and
a safety equalled up the dghi points
allowed by Windsors defensive unit
against Toronto but DAmore said it will

need another strong defensive showing
against the Ravens, who are very afiifetic
offensively and have one of the best re¬
ceivers in the OUA in Nate Behar.

“I thought the defense did wdl by only
giving up eight points because when
you do that, you usually have a chance
to winT said DAmore “AH in all they are
going to have to come out and play a real
strong game against Cadetem”

DAmore said the offense wifl need to
continue to progress and have the abil-
ity to score multiple toudidowns to stay
within striking distance

“Weneed to finda way to play fourqmr-
ters on the offensive side of the ball and
try to find some answers,* said DAmore
T think ift important that this game is at
home, I think & important for the kids
to want to redeem themselves from our
last home game"

and a special appearance from the cast
of Rent to be performed at The Oide
Walkerviile Theatre this October, The

Woman who have been taken advan¬

This is an oj^ortunity for everyone
to march and represent that right,” said
Nansoa ‘Mending an event like this
can be the first step for people to start
feeling safer in the community a qui¬
et issue and this can hdp raise awareness
and make people fed saferf

Nanson said 67 per cent of individuals
will know of someone who is involved
in a violent act and she finds that num¬
ber very staggering.

‘Almost everyone knows of someone
who has been abused or taken ad¬
vantage of just in Windsor and Esses
CountyT said Nansoa “Most of it we
dork ever hear about either. Only about
10 per cent is ever pubfidzed' 1

Nanson said the new bystander initia¬
tive happening in Windsor is great and
it will encourage people to stand up and
hdp our when violent acis occur

Male ally Patrick Hansor said he is very
supportive of the Take Back the Night
event as something that helps raise con¬
scious to the issue.

"Any kind of violence is a very horri¬
ble fixing;' said Hansor "We have to do
something about it and tonight is kind
of the first step for many who have been
violated or could possibly be in danger

From Sept. 14 to 20, Tim Hortons car¬
ried out thdr Smile Cookie Campaign

'This kind of campaign raises aware¬
ness nmiarkablyr said Maryvale pro-
grain director Janet Orchard *Tfs such
an endorsement from Tun Hortons
which is such a wonderful community

about the Smile Cookie Campaign is
that the money comes from people in
Windsor-Essex buying those cookies!'

Hus is the third year Maryvale has been

among tne incai cnosen

for ihe campaign, raising over $60,000
from the previous yeac Beiqs a place
which focuses on the menial well being

Students fora abroad kraking for work
will have an easier time doing so with
fe help ofa new initiative:

Service Canada came to the interna-
tional Student Centre Sept 17 to make

a temporary Sodai Insurance Number
(SIN) dime Since June of last year* full-
time international students have been
eligible to work in Canada and obtain
a SIR Initially they had to go aD the
way downtown with their passport and

study documents to gain the number,
however this process expedites the step
and makes things convenient for stu¬
dents like Haiti ZayaL

my schedule,” Zayaf said Tm trying to
fit my schedule and find a part-time job
but I haven't had the time to go around”

A Service Canada agent was present
durir^ the process and was overseeing
operations in the dink which ran from
10 am to 3 pm Hundreds of students
atimded the centre. While the wart
could have been shorter by going to
City Hall Square, international Student
Advisor Enrique Chacon hopes this
saves as a bit of wake-up call for Service
Canada,

“To teU you the truth they would proba¬
bly get it taster downtown because there
are many officers, so they probably
woukkft have to wait as k>ng£’ Chacon
said "But they can wait in comfy chairs
watch TV; and make friends wMe they
wait 16 important for (he Service Can¬
ada office to realize how many interna¬
tional students we have!'

After David Suzuki came to the Uni*
versify of Windsor Sept 14 to talk to
the students about young people voting
and how they should vote in relations to
concerns of the environment, his wends
continue to resonate with students on
campus * the few who were at file event,
anyhow

Hie room* baniy foil, directly reflected
federal involvement in the 18 to 25 age
group as only 39 per cent of eligible
youth voters were involved in the 2011
federal election.

University of Windsor Students' Alli¬
ance vice president of student advocacy
Matthew Dunlop said the message he
came to speak about very good points
which students should care about in¬

volving the health and sustainability of
Canadds environment

“We need to be able to have recognition
that those points are key to u$ surviving
generations upon generations from now
instead oflookmg at the short terra' said
Dunlop. “Whoever is elected in the up¬
coming federal election is going to start
malting polities and they're going to
start speaking on bAalf of Canada"

Dunfop said it is importantwe take part
in wrting so we can have someone we
agree with making tese potties rather
than someone we dorit agree with,

“Wkh one month to vote, the UWSA
is preparii^ a couple of different cam¬
paign strategies*' said Dunlop. 'One of
them is to have a candidates debate on
Monday October 8 from 6 pm to 8
pm”

Dunlop said outside efforts have really
been pushing to get students involved
and shewing interest in what they have
to say which he said is definitely goir^ to
help student turnout

T think there will be a shift in the minds
of all students,” said Dunlop, “Tha6
what we're hoping for, even just an inch,
vdiereverwecanr

Duniop said short term students can gtt
involved in UEfect, whkh is the UWSA
campaign for the federal elections and
long term students can join the UWSA
advocacy committee which helps run
and hold emits with different cam¬
paigns and make a movement in the
student body.

One thiiti year environmental science
student who attended the assembly,
Grace Eons, said shes been an envi¬

ronmental activist for a while and is
currently the president of UWindsor
Green.

“Were a student organization on cam¬
pus who b focused on makii^ our cam¬
pus as well as the whole Windsor com -
manky more sustainable,” said Enn&
“We go to grade schools and we teach
them about fcMng the environment and
we also do a lot of collections”

Going along with 5uzuk&, message
Enos said she is hoping to see more stu¬
dents go out and vote and be interested
in their country and environmenL

“Vtere given the awesome opportuni¬
ty on October 19 to change things and
help Canada out and make our future
better” sakl Enn& 1 would just encour¬
age everybody to go out put a vote in
and make an educated detiaonT

She said the group is working to a lot of
conimunify park and shordine dean*
ups and encourages everyone to get in¬
volved wkh the gnxip a
Windsor community dean and healthy.

"I think & great were promoting the
elections this yeaif said UWSA pres¬
ident Jaydee larpeh. “Wfe had a few
students come out, not as much as we
wouldhave liked, but the quality of con¬
versation and feedback was very good
whkh is just as important!*

Tarpeh said it doesn't matter who or
what the discussion of the election is
about* its matters that the discusaon is
happening and students are getting in¬
volved

lades from the likes of GBC for being
an exceptional venue for live mime, one
could say there was an indined interest
towards the seventh annual Phog PhesL
Yet the event was actually dose id not
even happening this year

"The deadline baskaBy came up way
quieter than antidpMed Its just been
administrative difficult to achieve,"
said organizer and Phog Lounge owner
Tom Luder.

Between the numerous shows taper
sets up in and out of his establishment,
his time to organize Phog Phest was
dwindling. Essentially he credits Ste¬
phen Hargreaves for making this yean
festival a reality when he came on board
as a oo-oiganizer As music festivab of
this size usually consist of elaborate and
thorough pbnnir^ the duo had a na¬
tive amount oftime to waste in ensuring
the tents and equipment would be set
up so the bands they had booked would
be able to play:

“Usually when you're hooking an event
of this size, and you want to get some
big acts from around the country and
around America as wdL you start
bookij^ about six months in advance,”
Hargreaves said "We started putting
together the entire thing 30 days be¬
fore the festival which is an incredible
amount ofwork to do”

Despite tire initial worry, the show did
go on as Phog Phest 7 was underway
Sept 19 from eariy afternoon to late
evening. This year brought the festivities
back outside, this time with multiple
food vendors posted up within Phog

Lourdes parking lot

There then was of course, the events key
aspect the music This year placed an
emphasis on quality over quantity. Last
years festival sported 40 bands in the
Capitd Theatre compared to the nine
who arrived this year. But within those
nine were prolific touring bands, all of
whkh were given a gracious amount
of time to perform thdr sets. Be it Win-
terskep the Juno Award winning indie
rockband out in Halifec, or the hip-hop
artists who form Grand Analog based
out of Winnipeg, While there was a
sharp decrease in band numbers, vari¬
ety has maintained

Windsor talent was also represented
through bands Better Weather and
Middle Sister, but with RAM Festival
on the horizon, Luder wanted to focus
more on outside talent since the up¬
coming event will be heavy on local

'We just saw a redundancy ludersaki

"Hus iskinda gonna be happening with

FAM so put the emphasis on strong
tourir^ bands, because people wanted
that for a foretime”

Hundreds upon hundreds attended the
evert during the set timeframe with
Wintersleep capping off the night, it
ended up being cut a couple of hours
short due to dty curfew; but an alter
party commenced immediately inside
Phog Lounge, concluding the festival
seventh year While nothing is con¬
firmed as of this time, theres Me doubt
in the festival returning for its eighth
year to further embody the essence of
the small but potent venue iti basedon.

"ffs been expected to do it every year,
and its a break even event for usT Luder
said ‘We do it because & a celebration
of what we do all year*’

Over 30 people participated toacharita-
We cause- one stride at a time -to raise
awareness on poverty worldwide and in
our own communities.

Hie UWindsordub Engineers Without
Borders raised overSl,OCX)attheir annu¬
al Run To End Poverty between Dieppe
Cardens and the Odette Sculpture Psik
on Riverside Drive West Sept 19. An
eight kilometer course was mapped out
where participants were encouraged
to bik^ run or walk at their own pace
with water and rest stops along the way
and poverty statistics viable to those
who stored to read them.

Jennifer Hesser is the coordinator of the
Run to End Poverty and said she was
very happy with the turnout, whkh ran
under a beautiful Saturday afternoon
sunshine after showers had scattered
the area earner to the morning. Hesser
said die funds raised al the event will go
to EWE'S overseas ventures educating
African rural communities about sus¬
tainability.

Tm really glad with all of the work we
have done,” .said Hesser Tfe a bit of a
commitment to run dght kilometers
and so Tm really glad everyone came
out today They did their best and ev¬
eryone did a great Job fundraising. We

we’re Just happy to get the word out We
had an tofonnatjon booth at Devon-
shire Mall which he^ed us get over 30
people sign up this year so hopefully

nest year we can get more runners too?

Hesser, 22, is currently puraiii^ her
Masters Degree to Social Work at
UWiodsor and said she regrets not
being involved with the group earikr
during her education as EWR helps lo¬
cal students get entrenched in the local
community.

"1 think itfc really important for univer¬
sity-aged people to understand, even
if they are not from Windsor, that the
local community needs to pull together
on issues such as poverty said Hess¬
er “Poverty is something that can af¬
fect anybody at anytime of their life, it
doesn’t discriminated'

The unfortunate reality is that the aver¬
age family in Windsor-Essex might be
a Job loss, wage decrease or illness away
from living in poverty Over 91,000
Windsor residents make less than
$20,000 a year and ^profflmatdy 48
million people to Canada are currerdy
living in poverty

to promote a cold hard feet which too

Students of all walks of life were wel¬

The mentorship program Connecting-

about the transition from high school to

Murray is the program coordinator of
Connecttog4Success and said personal
wellness is often one of the biggest pri¬

about when entering university

"They think its all about academics and
doir^ wdl but personal wellness is just
as important as academic wefinessT said
Murray “So were trying to combine the
two so that students know ifc okay to
take some time atone for some yoga or
some healthy eating because that is just

Usa Boyer is a program mentor to the
program which means she has two stu¬

believes it is good far first-year students
to general to have foe opportunity to
meet one another and share thdr sim¬

"[This isj an opportunity to meet each

Fast Food Delivered Faster

HAN I YASSIN E

Arts Editor

Those whove been a indent long
enough have likely ordered food to be
delivered to them at least once But with
there being a thin variety as to what
you can order through this method,
one start up company which began on
campus, is looking broaden the deliver)-
palette.

For the past two months, OmniNoms
has been trying to establish itself as a
true third-part delivery service. Where
last food restaurants such as McDon¬
alds and Subway dorit have services of
their own, OmniNoms aims to pkk
up the slack by delivering those meals
straight to your home.

“Wert simply going through the
drive-thru like a regular customer; our
drivers arcT said QmniNbms co-found¬
er Stove Hann “The driver goes and
picks it up as if ifs tiieks, so therek no
markup on McDonalds' side The/re
buying it at a completely regular price*

No partnoship is required between die
deliver}' service and the restaurants it
may retrieve the food from. By making
an order on the OmniNoms website,
a delivery driver will pick the food up
hum the restaurant, bring it to the cus¬
tomer and charge them the regular price
for the meal on top of a $6 delivery fee
With the service being geared towards
students, Harm finds time to be major
laaors in making the business pkk up
steam

'look at the most successful start-up
companies right now is ones that save
people time, whkh is the most valuable
resource” Harm said 'Tfou can find a
way to save peoples time and they find
value in that, which means they're wilT
ing to spend moneyT

Hann said only four drivers are current¬
ly employed and admits there hasn't
been a major increase in profits since

Ottawa Street has been luring shop-
pers, foodies and enthusiasts for over
100 years. Less than a couple of miles
from Windsors historic river front, Ot¬
tawa Street offers an amazing variety of
shops from upscale fashion boutiques
to antique storey restaurants, bars and
other services. Beautifully designed and
well-kept, one can stiD see the character
of this magical street for even after 100
years the street has not lost its charm
although the recent popularity of ihe
downtown area has overshadowed die
allure of this majestic street

A highlight ofthe event perhaps was the

ning of Sept 18, acting as the kkk-oflffor
the two-day event Theshow took place
in a covered Lanspeary Park arena, tak¬
ing the audience through a journey of

the local fashion scene and the show'
was attended by hundreds of people*

Anne-Marie Beausddl, President of

‘Ottawa Street has been around forever

said Beausddl"We arevery pleased that

for the celebration festivities. The event
drew hundreds of people to the area
Food trucks, face painting kiosks and

Jangles the Magic Clown was the most
popular among all the street entertain¬

Theres a great emphasis on wEddir^s
to mate them the best they can be and
truly a day to remember Some can be
excited to pul it together, while others
could find it stressful fortunately a twi>
day event was open to solve most of the
wedding woes.

From Sept 16 to 17, the Caboto Club
hdd the 24th annual Fall Wedding
EvenL With more than 450 couples reg¬
istered to appear, over 100 vendors were
present to offer an immense variety of
services to make the day extra special

of the only bridal boutiques that does
not charge my customers foralterattons,
and thats a big bonus*" Ernesto said.
“Bui we need to do that because we're
out in Leamington and we need to give
girls the incentive to go out there.”

The even! also featured spedfk theme
looms and fashion shows which oc¬
curred on both days. While it was a way
for some couples to do the bulk of their
shopping, other couples were there for
merely a few extras. Couples like Jordan
Charfebois and HoBy Ferguson for ex¬
ample, have been engaged since Christ¬
mas of last year and have been forming
their plans ever since. Having already
gotten the tag aspects out of the way like
choosing a venue and a DJ. they found
the event experience to be impersonal
to a degree, but aifoyed the aesthetics it
had to offer.

“You can go from booth to booth and
plan your entire wedding here,” said co¬
ordinator Nancy Oampana, “A wedding
show brings the businesses within a cer¬
tain region all together under one roof
to make it convenient for the shopper”

Some of the services included vkfeog-

raphy honeymoon planning, music a l
talent, lighting coordination and dress
alteration companies such as Maria
Ernestos, Owner of the boutique Here
Comes the Bride in Leamington, Ernes¬
to orders her dresses and performs her
alterations free of charge, which can be
fooked at as a business advantage,

“My boutique is special because fm one

T really like looking at the deoor that
they had set up” Ferguson said "The lit-
tle station, sedng bow they bid out their

tables and all the good stuff and flipping

through bodes and seeing different
designers. I really liked that aspect of it”

The MI event was one plentiful in op¬
tions, However the main event is just a
few months away with Wedding Ex¬
travaganza 2016. It will cover two floors
of the Caboto Club on top of being a
weekend event and will begin Jan. 16,

Movie Review: Fantastic Four

A remake made thinking, Well, we can always do another remake . >

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

The director of alternative style films
such as ‘Chronicle’ has pul out the big¬
gest superhero flop ever this summer

Director Josh Trank released 'Fantastic
Four' to theatres Aug, 7 and fm very
glad I did not pay to go to theatres to
watch what HI call the worst superhero
movie ever

With no distinct action scenes, no char¬
acter development and file kitdiering
of the greatest Marvel villain, the movie
had me wanting out of my own house
to get away from it

Tfiis was the first movie ever in which,
fiiroughout the whole movie, I had no
care for what was happening next even
as a major Marvel fen*

The movie starts off with a very long
intro about two kids, Reed Richaiw
(Miles Teller) and Ben Grimm {Jamte
Bdl), beoomiiig best friends making a
device to transport items somewhere
- they durit know ^actiy where - and
be able to bring it back. With this comes

my first complaint of the movie - If
you’re going to make a crowd buy into
lake science, at least sell it with fake sci¬
ence,

A! no point did the mtwk even attempt
to explain why or how this was dona
It showed a lot of formulas and com¬
puters, but the tack of information, not
to add die actors didn't even appear to
be any bit intelligent in character, was
a complete turnoff to make me care or
show interest

It then goes seven years into the fofcure
where Reed goes off to recreate his de¬
vice with a random group of young sci¬
entists. He meets up with Johnny Storm
(Mkhad R, Jordan), Susan Storm (Kate
Mam) and Victor Von Doom (Toby
KebbeilV They instantly all become
friends with no development of why
they should care about one another,
they all just magkaBy get afong.

They finally create the teleportation
device, which, oh, by the way, doesn’t
teleport you somewhere on the world
it teleports you to an alternate universe*
and Von Doom gets duck there Every¬

one else, on the other hand, gels tele¬
ported back with powers and the ship
blows up.

Reed got stretchy for no apparent rea¬
son, Sue becomes invisible because,
even though she didrit go die was in
the lab when they returned and was
hit by some power surge* Johnny was
on fire when returning and now he
controls it and Ben got hit with a Sot of
rocks, sou . now hefe a rock peraxi-

Immedktdy as they are retuned and
held in study' labs, the movie fast for¬
wards to a point where they know how
to control their powers now* save Reed
who escaped and ran away

Everyone becomes upset with Reed
and the American national defens¬
es b^jn using Ben* Johnny and Sue for
worldwide strategic missions.

Sue, a master of patterns - quite the title
- finds Reed and they bring him bade to
create a new machine to find resourc¬
es from this akernative planet in order
to fijd the new one, because it worked
so well the first tune

When a group, not including our he-
roes; goes back* Von Doom is still alive
and is taken back to the real world after
they completely abort the mission to
find new energy there as of now

Victor Von Doom, or Dr. Doom, is
supposed to be the most dangerous,
smart and lethal force in the Marvd
Universe, but somewhere along the
line in filming* the costume and make¬
up design decided it was a good idea
to make him look like an awful 1980s
horror film monster and go with it To
add to it* Trank thought it was good to
have him walk around in a darkened
kb adding to the awful 80s theme

Von Doom kills a bunch of people, he
returns to the alternate universe once
more and the four chase after him

In the first 'action scene of the movie,
not much action haoDens. Von Doomis

trying to pull cars and trees - there may
have been more but tiiat is what was
filmed - into the alternate universe for
no explained reason throi^h a magical
portal he can make which is also unex-
pkined

The fighting was a sad excuse* the vi¬
suals where comparable to the original
Star Wars Sims and i really didn't care
if tiie movie would have killed everyone
off because I had no attachment what¬
soever

Fantastic Four proved to be a movie
for no one There was no concefrt, sto¬
ry-telling or interesting characters in it
I didn't Laugh* I didrit say coot to any
parts and I did not want to finish the
movie after being only three minutes in.

HI giw the movie aone out of five for at

least Irvine to make a movie

Video Game Review: Conker’s Bad Fur Day

Still Cute, Cuddly and Filthy as Ever— 14 Years Eater

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

CONQUERS
BAD FUR DAY

PUBLISHER:

RARE

DEVELOPER:

RARE

PLATFORMS:

N64. XBOX 360

Upon making its debut on the N64,
‘Conkers Bad Fur Day 1 was initially set
tube a light and cutesy aflkir. Conker the
Squirrel who first appeared as a playable
character in Dsddy Kong Raring was
supposed to be a figure mainly direct¬
ed towards children in the same vein
as 'Banjo-Kazooie It easily could have
been another one of those platformers
where you wandered around a vibrant
world, grabbing oodles of collectables
and performing a series of heroic ac-
tions as you head towards the finish line.

Bad Fur Day keeps the world, but only
as a form of deception. For this is a story
about a squirrel who starts iris day with
an intense hangover foitowing a night at
a pub and ends toe day as the king of file
worid

Almost 1 5 years after its release, Bad Fur
Day remains one ofa kind

The game moves at a pretty straightfor¬
ward pace since ifis essentially a story
driven experience But the narrative
leads to pretty seating and hilarious
moments as itfc successfullyweavedwith
challenging platforming and action se¬
quences, What really makes the game
work is the ingenuity of the context-sen¬
sitive mechanic By simply pressing one
button it allows Conker to put away his
default weapon* being a pan, so
be can successfully tackle a situation un¬
der his present diaimstances. It could
be using a slingshot to take down a few
bugs or turning into an anvil to make a
heavy drop towards a new location. Its
an atypical mechanic as toe adventure
you mbark on is hardly typical itsdf

Theres no princess to save, no great evil
to stop. Is really just Conker tryingtoget
home and encountering a variety of ex¬
periences along the way. From the sec¬
ond you move Conker and have to deal
with sluggish control due to how hang¬
over lie ts, you get five sense its charming
art design and family-friendly music is
nothing more than a dirty trick This is
a game where some of toe acts include
guiding bees to a big-breasted sunflow¬
er* fighting against an opera-singing poo
monster by throwing toilet paper in ifs
mouth, and embarking in a war against
an army of evil teddy bears, Your only
two collectables in the game are choco¬
late for your healto and odd hard cadii as
the sde form of progresskm Ym could
certainly aigue by taking this direction,
the content in the game is feiriy thin.
The game after all can be docked any¬
where between eight and 12 hours. But
the quality of each chapter makes this a
very fulfilling adventure.

The humour in the game could be
considered juvmile. The characters are
shamelessly potty-mouthed and the

game certainly isn’t below a fort joke
here and a difly one there. But its also
deverfv filled with multiple movie ref¬
erences from something as on the nose
as recreating scenes from "Savftig Private
Ryan or The Matrix^ to subtle allusions
towards "Blue Velvet The opening of
the game itself is a dear homage to A
Clockwork Orange and throughout it
takes several cues from a variety of clas¬
sic films winch help enrich the story and
its universe. It also manages to play on
tropes of its own medium by sometimes
malting Conker become self-aware of
toe fact he; the lead character in a video
game

Then therek Conker himself While
he may be portrayed as a womanizing
drunkard of a squard the character

Tlieres also a happy-goTucky ted you
get from the character regirdless of the
situation, which makes plying as him
truly delightful Perhaps even to the
point where you wish had have made
more video game appearances.

The game was to have a sequel whkh
unfortunately became cancelled during
devekpmenL Conker is a character de-
serving of another chapter as his legacy
is almost entirely within Bad Fur Day
But perhaps there have been worse fetes,
as the game stiU manages to be a very re-
freshing experience despite te age. Now¬
adays, developers would think twice in
making a game and stuffing with such
erode content But Bad Ftir Day does it
without shame and in spades While age
has caughtup to it in obvious fidds suda

design and voice work helps him be- as graphics, sound and control it re-
come a lovable adorable looking drunk, maimanadvenfeirew^ vrorthhavinc.

Three days later the Lancers will host the

rematch ofa 2-2 draw between the duhs
in a hot showdown three weeks prior in
Toronto.

"Six points is what we needed headed
into a big week against Western and
York" said Vizirakis "This week we
worked on a lot of set pieces as wei as
attacking and defending the ball in set
pieces and it worked out wdL We took
our chances and were structured realty

On Saturday Noah Pio gave the Lancers
a quick 2-0 lead less than five minutes
into the game, scoring both goals just
G37 seconds apart

Windsor would go on a four-goal burst
to earn the dedstwe win. Jamar Redhead
scored Windsor^ third goal in the 54th

na Jumbo and Damon Johnson would
each score agod in the final 20 minutes
to make it a 6-0 derision

The Lancers would be no kinder to
their guests the next afternoon as they
used a balance attack, scoring four goals
in each halfto sweep the weekend series
in a resounding 8-0 victory. Windsor
put 24 shots toward Algomas goal and
moved the ball at will

Mike Pfo Redhead Brendan feel¬
ing and Le^hton Speechky-Prke all
scored goals in the opening half to go
up 4-0 at the break while Jumbo scored
a pair of goals whik Noah added a sin¬

players. Jumbo scored a pair of goals
whik Bo added a single in a three-goal
weekend for both players. Grigorakis
scored in the 88th minute to round out
the merik highest scoring game of the
season

Vizirakis believes that Windsor execut¬
ed wdl on the weekend with 14 goals as

evidence.

"Going forward we have a lot of oonfi-
dence in our strikers and our forwards
so hopefully they can bring that against
Western*" said Vcarakis. "We need to
take care of our bodies and go into our
walkthrough Tuesday and see what
changes we need to make Wednesday
we need to go on the road and get three
points,"

The Lancer womens soccer team also
swept the visitors from Algoma in tfadr
weekend set by defeating the Thun¬
derbirds 1(M) on Saturday afternoon
followed by a 7-0 wm Sunday. With the
victories the Lancers are now 4-4 on

to utilize aB of Windsors lineup and
change the dynamic to see how every¬
one works together

the ball and I think we did a really good
job of that” said Marooux. “ft was an
overall good weekend for u& We need¬
ed these two wins to bump us up in toe
standings, ft's cruda! because we tooka

the weekend to improve on her outlet

an attempt to improve Windsors tran¬
sition play far when they face more stiff
competition later in the season

"I didht get many shots but I just had
to stay patient and be their for support
and moving the ball up to the defence,"

said Lawrence T embrace that role and
I need to work on it so hopefully I can
progress each game As a unit we have
some work to do stiD but once we get to

Unmuting the Silenced
in Windsor’s Poetry Scene

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

*

Believe if or not, Windsor has a vibrant
artistic community, even if its arguably
ladng an identity crisis in trying to re¬
tain its status as die nations automotive
capital theres a more creative focus at¬
tempting to be cultivated. Be it throi^h
musk, visual arts and perhaps as of re¬
cent poetry

Now, there has always been a poetry
scene in Windsor, If you attended Phog
Lounge anytime within the past few
years, you may have experienced or at
least heard of TOAST Open Mic Poet¬
ry an event continually anti passionate¬
ly hosted by poet Benny Alexander. In
living others a platform where they can
truly express without prejudice, it played
a big part in forming a poetry scene in
the dty but it was one still scattered and
muted.

So what better way to give some focus
and voice than with a little contest?

Over die past few months, Phog Louise
has been host to another poetry event
the Windsor Poetry Slam Started by
Marc Smith in 1984 Chicago, slam po¬
etry is competitive poetry fts one based
on a numbered scale and one where the
performance can matter just as much,
if not more th an the w ords being per¬
formed. Organized by Matt Loeb, the
objective was simple bu3d a team and
give Windsor its own platform.

“I want to be able to bring Windsor into
a national dialogue fea& happening,”
Loebsaid

The rules were simple: pods were to
present original work with no props
or costumes. The presentation would
be scored by three judges and over the
course of a couple of rounds, the scores
would be averaged in order to deter¬
mine a victor. The first round erf com¬
petitions occurred June 24 where poets
competed for humble cash prizes, but
more importantly a spot in the finals,

which occurred Sept 20.

Attendees were also usually treated to a
featured poet, one of which being An¬
dre Prefonlaine who is currently based
in Toronto With numerous accolades
under his bdl, including being a two-
time Underground Slam Champion
of Canada, he admires the competitive
spirit behind the artistry, but also em¬
phasizing it goes beyond

‘Its exciting, theres a sense of vibrancy
to it Theres no expectation that you sit
down and stay quid. You rabble rouse;
you try to sway the judges and believing
that what you sawwas the best thing on
EarthT Prefontaine said ‘The poetry is
the point, not the points. Were here to
shareour stray as a cofieetjve, aaimmu-
nityasceneT

Bods like Jason Ross, who ended up
being one of five pods representing the
Windsor Poetry Slam, weren't appealed
to the competition and more so looked
at it as a way to share. He said anytime
he performs he portrays a font man
persona, and while competition doesn't
drive him, he still goes on stage entirely
out of want

1 wasn't interest in competing initial!);
but I realized if I want to participate, 1
have toT Ross said “At an early age I got
into punk rode and thrash metal and as
a teenager ihe only thing I coul d relate to
or haw an interest in were lyrics.

Naturally a debate would be indined to¬
wards whether or not art is something,
whkh should be judged by a supposed¬
ly arbitrary number. But some kick at
it as a form of motivation to pump out
stronger, fresher work.

“Even though we talk about how arbi¬
trary it is giving points for art, leaving
a form in which you can congratulate
or give people accolades for their art
inspires them and encourages them
to make C said finalist Adriane Clip-
perton,

"But I fed that its good because it makes

me put out things that I think are higher
quality

The finals on Sept 20 were subjected
to a packed audience, something rath¬
er uncommon for a Windsor poetry
event Judges were exceptionally critical
throughout the night, but a handful of
poets were able to win them over wdl
enough tooffidallydinch a spot into the
Windsor Poetry Slam. The five mem¬
bers to date are Adriane Qipperion,
Samantha Badaoa, Courtney Gifford,
Jordan Legg and Jason Ross. By the end
crftt all Matt Loefo was nothin short of
elated

"If we don't make it to Saskatoon, I know

With the team formed, a new journey
is initiated Loeb wanted the team to

Spoken Word in Saskatoon* But due to
a lack of fends, they may have to push
for 2016 when fee festival finds itsdf in
Winnipeg The steps now are to secure

Movie Review: Black Mass

GRANTJONSSON

The Lance Contributor

Crime dramas are one of my favour¬
ite genres in dnema. There is a certain
track record of excellence expected
to come associated with these types
of movies. Horn The Godfather to
Goodfellas! fiom "Beat * 1 to The Depart¬
ed! almost every decade has a definitive
crime film. With Scott Cooper's new
film ’Blade Mass! we might have found
the one for this decade.

Sporting excellent performances from
almost evi^y big name on screen, 'Black
Mass' is a finely layered bfopc which rips
at your collar for attention and doesn't let
go until die credits roH

Eariybuzzoutofthe filmslimited release
liad critics calling this a rebirth for folui-

ny Deppfe eareenWhile I would argue
his career didn't entirely need one, the
statement could not be truer, Depp has
always gone for the more out of the ordi¬
nary character* one which requires him
to go over the top in die role without ac¬
tually overacting. Here we see him dig
in and disappear behind the character as
usual, tadding the refe in a modi mote
natur al and organic fashion.

Depp plays notorious Boston criminal
kingpin James White/ Bulger, a man
who up until his arrest m 2011, was #2
on the FBFs Ten Most Wanted Crimi¬
nals list *Black Mass' demonstrates how
an alliance wfth the FBI allowed Bulger
to become one of the most notorious
criminals in the US*

This alliance was initiated by newly
appointed FBI Agent John Connolly,

played by Jod Edgarton, who grew if? in

South Beaton with the Bulger brothers;

*

James and Senator Billy Bulger* played
by Benedict Cumberbtfdt Connollys
intention was to use James as a pro¬
tected informant to provide the FBI
information regarding foe wliereabouts
and activities of the Patriarca organized
crime family based out of Bostons north
end This information sharing between
foe two parte allowed for Bulger's as¬
sent to power.

Depp has not been this phenomenal in
alongwhik. Equal parts chilling, creepy
and utterly engrossing, Depp has quick¬
ly become a frontrunner for this years
Best Actor Oscar award The makeup
work certainly contributes to this* but he
is unrecognizable in this role. Mesmer¬
izing is a word audiences will be floating
around for the weeks to come.

Edgarton equally does a great Job as
John Connolly. Perhaps possessing the
greatest Boston accent of this cast, Ed-
garton balances the weight of a man
who believes he is to become a home¬
town hero. All while expressing the
subtle doubts, which creep in as the
successful results begin to dwindle and
those around him see the deception hes
been wheeling in the name of justice

The true faults of the film lie with its
traditional af^roadi to dnematogr^hy
and the lade of opportunity ter the fihrfc
female performers. Dakota Johnson,
Juno Temple and Marine Nkholson

respectively all get their opportunity to
shine in their roles and they aD rise to the
occasion* Unfcrtunatdy their scenes are
never more than 5 minutes tong and we
are left lipping for more of an adubitiorc
!n terms of shot presentation* its just not
anything special yet foe performances
more than make up for this slight failure,

'Black Mass' is an excellent example of
how to successfully make both a crime

eye out for this film come Oscar season,

The UWSA Board has suggested resig¬
nation of the vice president of student
services due to the breaching of a bylaw

The decision was made to suggest re¬
lease of Rajiv ‘"Sod-Train” Sivanesan at
the last UWSA board meeting OcL L
Thiswas due to the breaching ofUWSA
bylaw 105.03 (d) which states ‘The of¬
fice of a Director or i^ecutive shall be
vacated immediate If a Director or
Executive is absent fioni three (3) con¬
secutive Board meeting which will be
deemed to constitute that Director or
Executives resignation*'

Sivanesan said his first missed meeting

he was reprinting the University of
Windsor at Canadian Organization of
Campus Activities events. The first was
a national conference in Edmonton, Al¬
berta and the second a regonalmeetk^
mlxmdon,Ontaria

**Wh& had happened for the third
meeting was die president messaged

me asking if I was able to call in and I
told him I wasn’t because my phone
was about to die? said Sivanesan, “I get
home, charged my phone and mes¬
saged him back and asked if I could
join the meeting to which he replied ‘ we
can't do anything novtf even though the
meeting was still in session.”

According to Sivanesan, the UWSA
president told him by the time he had

"From my understanding of what the
UWSA lawyer had said prior to die oc¬
currence was that this should not count
towards a missed meetii^; because of the
proceedings of the last meeting where 1
made an attempt to attmd the meeting

kft to the board of directors whether or
not to follow the lawyer$ advice,.. I was
informed after the decision that there
was nothing that could be done, which
obviously meant the board decided I
had missed all three meetings and I was
deemed to constitute resignation.”

The final derision was made in a min¬

utes meeting whidh Sivanesan said he
asked to leave because he was not com¬
fortable being in front of the board as
they discussed his rnipfoymenL

President of the UWSA, Jaydee Tarpeh,
said in the matter of concern toey want¬
ed to hold everyone to the same stan¬
dards by giving a fair assessment of the
situation and treating it as such. Be said
the point was to stay on track with the

work and we had a great time working
with himr said Tarpeh, "Were toe first
executive team working fully under the
current bylaw structure so were after
something like this, were going to take
another look at it and possibly make
some revisions.”

Tarpeh said its unfortunate this hap¬
pened but the board decided to take the
bylaws in practice seriously and address
with the situation in its standards,

Sivanesan said the hugest thing for him
following the matter is to remain as pn>
fessiona] as possible in the proceeding
and to try to figure out what to do on a
personal leveL He said he has separated

and he has no bad blood with members

said Stephanie Larocque, the Tour
Manager for the mobile exhibitioa “We
target elementary schools, high schools
and universities so that students can vol¬
unteer for projects around the world”

Funded by the Canadian Government,
Department of Foreign Affairs and
Trade and Development Canada, the
portable exhibition was an idea origi¬

nated by the Aga Khan foundation, a
private non-profit international agency
which deals with issues like poverty, il¬
literacy and health concerns in Africa,
Middle East and South and Central
Asia.

The truck was filled with various activi¬
ties such as interactive worid maps and
quizzes to test general knowledge. All of
these elements added to die ambience

of the unique design of the exhibit Var¬
ious photographs, screens and cultural
artifacts were also showcased for the
visitors to see

“The design for the exhibit took dght
months which involved illustrations,
concept art, fabrications said Tbtiy
Amato, the president of MRA, experi¬
ential toms and equipment, who collab¬
orated with the Aga Khan Foundation

to realize this exhihitioa “Our key is to
make everything mobile, so that every¬
thing we build travels. We want filings
to be interactive so that people can re¬
member it and adding a lot of visuals
and textures matters”

Amato said with technology so vibrant
and sound in this age* we are exposed to
the internet and other forms of media
to get information* Ihe challenge arises

when we are confused in following one
valid source; Exhibits like 'Together” aid
people in taking up active roles to make

Open House Bids Farewell
to Dean of Science

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

University staff and fomlty members
found themselves under one roof to
wish one <rftheirc^goodfodconher
future endeavors.

Effective at the end of September, Dr
Marfys Koschinsky stepped down as the
Dean of Science as her second and final
term came to its conclusion at the Uni¬
versity of Windsor As a result, an open
house was held at Kaizman Lounge
Sept 29 where colleagues bid her safe
journey towards her new position as a
scientific and executive director at the
Robarts Research Institute located in
Londoa

“It just kind of seemed to marry all of
my passions for administration and also
for research? Kosdiiraky said

Koschinsky leaves a legacy of being the
university's first female dean within the
Faculty of Science, But she also leaves
a series of contributions towards the

t and expansion of various

programs within the school Having
never lived in southwestern Ontar¬
io prior to Windsor, one of the things
Koschinsky will come to miss is the
community and the warm embrace it
provided her

"Windsor I think sometimes can be a
little down on itself, but this is a wonder¬
ful oomiminity full of very, very special
people? Koschinsky said "I became
modi more embedded in this commu¬
nity than 1 had previously in the King¬
ton community?

The open house in Kalzman Lounge
spanned for two hours. While the rainy
weather was making for a troublesome
commune within campus, it didn’t pre¬
vent numerous faculty members from
arriving to gfre her a proper farewell

“She really supported Its research mis-
skm and had soane great things in that
area, but shas also created a sense of
community in the faculty that goes
broader than file faculty group you're
here today? said Vke-Prcrvost

Students and faculty alike wanderii^
about the Campus Bookstore may want
to keqp an eye out for work written by
one erf UWkidsors own faculty mem-
ben

On Sept 30, the newly open Welcome
Centre hosted a book launch of 'Dear
Internet; its Me, Avery! The b<x>k is a fic¬
tion piece written by Jennifer Ammos-
cato, who works at the university as the
director of public aflairs and communi¬
cation Being the first book of a five-part
series, the story revolves around how a
woman aims to cope with her personal
and marital issues, ail while combatinga
resonating internet addiction

1 think predominately society today
that rather than going out we just like
to look at our phones or look on our
iPad and thats who Avery is? Ammosr
cato said "The whole point of it is how
Avery begins to deal with that through
her own instincts and own experiences,

and detaches herself from her internet
addition?

With the book, Ammoscato hopes to
illuminate sodety s current ndiance on
technology and how people have al¬
lowed fftemsdves to be less cautious of
the information they digest from the in¬
ternet The first book took three years to
write according to Ammoscala While
she initially had a demographic set to¬
wards women who are currently expe¬
riencing or have experienced hardships,
she bdieves the book will strike a chord
with both men and women, and within
a variety of age groups,

"I wanted a book that would resonate
with anybody wbos been in a really
difficult situation, particularly women
whbve gone through rough times like
divorce? Ammoscato said “I think
theres some things tliat will resonate on
a human level that are somewhat not
really restricted by age. We can have re¬
lationship challenge early on from our
lives?

Students, staff and fatuity at the School

a couple of guest artiste from across the

and Nib Ame Kassens spoke to both
students and faculty at the LeBd build¬

within public and private spheres, the
artiste made a pit stop at the School of

me shewas gping to be in Detroit work¬
ing on a collaborative projeet and Sculp¬

invite them hereto do an artist talk,” said
SoCA technician Kiki Athanassiadis.

Kobberiing is primariiy a visual artist
who attends to incorporate urban
architecture with community in¬

volvement, while Kassens houses his
strengths within theoretical procedure
and stage direction The duo came to¬
gether in hopes to paint a vivid picture
of the motor dty from its significant
declines to its apparent resuigenee, in
which theyl also be working with stu¬
dents at Wayne State University.

and for Detroit and with the people in
Detroit” Kassens said “On one hand, its
a dty where possibilities shrink because
people move away and shops dose and
so on. Its a dty on die other hand thats

The key theme to their project is trans¬

Over ar City Hall Fade, the third annual
Marijuana March and Cannabis Cul¬

focal effort where people are free to light

has always been to push for the legal¬

the Canadian Federal Election drawing
closer and closer, support lias become

For local businesses, arguably one of foe
hugest hurdles they tend to face is the
ability to secure binding for additional
resources and finding ways to collabo¬
rate with the community at forge. This is
where an event like Windsor Soup aims
to make those aspects dick together

“This gives us a chance to talk together
said Melissa Miner, program director
of the Downtown Musk Initiative. Tm
always looking for ways to odlaborafe
with community and often it involves
me going out and finding someone, but
here were under one big space and hear
what each other does.”

Enactus hdd thdrWindsor Soup event
atWalkervifie Brewery OctA Being one
of the six primary projects the group
hosts within the community rough¬
ly 100 people came to mix, mingfe and
listen to focal entrepreneurs’ pitch why
they may need and deserve additional
funding to enhance thdr sa-vkes.

“A couple businesses that have won in
the past have been bdping youth, peo¬
ple who have been helping mental ill¬
ness* a fotofbusinesses who do that and
need the moneyT said project manager
Simrato Singh.

Attendees pay $5 at the door and are
welcome to have soup as they listen to
the pitches from various entrepreneurs.
The magk number of the night was
four. Four focal businesses were eah
given four minutes to pitch their pro¬
posals, followed by answering four out¬
standing questions which came from
the audience, who also played as voters.
Tire one with the most votes wins all the
money made at the door, which is then
doubled by the P and L Odette Charita¬
ble Foundation. Among the businesses
participating were the Downtown Mu¬
sk Initiative and the Windsor Feminist
Theatre, who aimed to commission a
play based on missing and murdered
indigenous women.

“When you look at U81 aboriginal
women that are murdered and missirg
over the course of the past 20 years or sq
you carit deny that we really need to pay
attention to this issue nowf said Patri¬

tially is a commercial drone able to per-
form a variety of services from survey¬

ing land sites to protecting wMifo The
money earned will be directed towards
foe effort in conserving the spedes of
sea turtles.

The event is prone to sound response,
partly due to Enactus Windsor's dear-

cut objective in bringing the commu¬
nity together and helping the dty grow
towards greater lengths Singh feds
some focal businesses simply do not get
enough recognition, and hopes an event
such as this one gives them a real plat¬
form to stand on.

“This event isrft reaDy common to

MP candidates from the Windsor West
region came to the University of Wind¬
sor fer a student

The Oct 5 debate featured student
submitted questions and topics written
before the event, as wdl as some written
during the event for the second half of
the debate. The parties represented at
the debate were the Conservatives with
Henry Lau, the Liberals with Dave Sun-
din* foeNDF with Brian Masse and the
MamsL Leninists with Margaret Villa-
tnizer

The first half of the debate had six ques¬
tions including issues about healthcare*
employment and cross-border relations

but the question with the most student

response was those of foiition concerns.

Party candidates from Windsor West came to the University of Windsor for a debate.

The quest™ was what each party
would do about tuition fees and interest,
and how they would change it for stu¬
dents if elected ire

First to answer was re-elect candidate
Masse who said he was proud of the
work hes done to eliminate the interest
on student bans.

"There should not be a single cent of
interest on student bans,” said Masse:
"We will move to din unate that because
it is a in terms of your skill set you
get out of the university [they are] an in¬
vestment into our community and why
should the banks be making money off
your back like they made off minewhen

I paid off my $17*000 which is nothing
compared to what you have now!’

The crowd responded with very ada¬
mant dapping and Masse went on to
say he will work on eliminating ATM
and credit card fees which he feels area
scamwhen that money could be used to
be put bade into our economy

Next to answer was Villamizer who said
education from primary to postsecond-
ary is a right and must be given aconsti¬
tutional guarantee

h cannot be done to make the rich
richer and the poor poorer as it is done

todayf said Villamizer* in terms of the
education system To modernize soci¬
ety the aim coeducation must be to give
rise to the kind of creativity that human
kind requires."

Lan answered the question next by
talking about his three daughters - two
which are going through school and
one of them who has graduated

Lau saH ifhe is elected he wiD be the first
one to advocate for alfoiriabffity in toe
post-secondary journey

He also said the system of education is
a very good one according to his party

and not too much interference could be
bad He said the main concern should
be creating more jobs in Windsor to
hdp students pay off their debts.

Last to have a word was Sundin who
said the issue was very near to him be¬
cause he recently graduated and has a lot
of debt to pay offhimsdf

M 16 not toe banks profiting in many
cases its the Canadian government
profiting from the backs of Canadian
students and &a& wrong* said Sundin.
Tf we're looking at the M potential of
Canadian society theres a role to play of

citizens moving forward”

Sundin said he believes the Liberal gov-
anment hasa great plan to lower tuition
costs and to make it easier for middle
and lower Hass fa milies to send their
children to university and college.

He brought up the announcement the
Liberals had made that day that full time
students will receive $3,000 in grant
money

AH parties answered more questions
following a break and mingled with the
students one-on-one.

Federal elections will be held on Oct 19.

embedded within due to the hdpofthe

As the university finds itself increasing

been around for a vary long time and
we ail give back to the community We
want to get more events like this in the

Local fighter Randi Fields was hoping to
use the boxing card as another oppor¬
tunity to gain more experience in her
young career but her opponent would
unfortunately come into the fight al¬
most 13 pounds overweight Despite
Fields effort to bulk up in the upcom¬

the boxir^ officials to caned the fight
Instead afa match, trainer Manuel AHa-
ro simply demonstrated some of Fields
impressive punching arsenal to those in

Film Review - The Martian

KAR-LEIGHKELSO

The Lance Contributor

When I say director Ridley Scott has
truly outdone himself with his newest
film, "The Martian;' I do not say it light¬
ly—because he has done truly excellent
work with this film.

Based on a novel of the same name by
Andy War, "The Martian” dhronides
the over 500-day ordeal of astronaut
Mark Watney (Malt Damon) after he

is unexpectedly and brutally stranded
on Mars when an intense storm brews
in the planets amiospherc, leaving his
crew no choke but to abandon him and
evacuate the plane! immediate With
no means of communication, Me food,
and few supplies, the botanist-astronaut
must figure out a way to last four years
on a desert planet—the minimum
amount of time it would take NASA to
send him a rescue shuttle

The plot is a roller coaster from start to
finish, with aperfect amount ofoomedk
relief an intense moments of suspense
when everything Wows up in Watneys
fiice—literally—more than once Al¬
though maybe a little bit predictable,
the plot is no less enjoyable, in my opin-
toa The writing is fentastiq NASA was
heavily consulted with during the mov¬
ies development to ensure die utmost
accuracy with the science behind the

actors’ lines. On top of that, the one-
matography is just beautilufi the effects
are perfection, and I daresay I haverit
heard a soundtrack complementing a
movie this we! since I saw “Guardians
of the Galaxy” (Maybe its a space movie
thing,)

Oh, and if you can help it try not to took
up the cast there are about a lialf-doz-
en actor cameos whkh I found to be a
pleasant surprise.

In what I think may just be the perfor¬
mance of Matt Damons career, I actual¬
ly can’t wait to see this movie again.

BRETT HEDGES

Sports Editor

The defending Yates Cup champions
proved to be too powerful for the Wind¬
sor Lancers football team as they fefi to
the seventh-ranked McMaster Maraud¬
ers on home soil while UWindsor cele¬
brated Alumni Weekend

The Lancers opened the scoring with an
early field goal but would surrender four
consecutive touchdowns and trail the
defending OUA champions 35-10 at
iialftime. Windsor outscored McMas¬
ter 9-0 in the third quarter to the cut the
deficit to 16 points but would score no
more

With the toss Windsor Ms to 1-5 on the
season while the Marauders improved
to 4-L on the year and are now tied
with Queens for third place in the OUA
landings.

I ancers head coach Joe DAmore said
the team played better in the second
half against the defending conference
champions and in certain aspects are
playing better football as theyoungoore
gain valuable game experience in an al¬
ways-tough OUA conference

,# We locked like a really good football
team in the third quarter, we made
some stops,” said DAmore “The prob¬
lem is we aren’t capitalizing. We had a
chance to score in the third but dropped
die ball in the end atm Then we got
the ball back but missed the fidd goal
If we score a touchdown there, we are
only down 12 and you are kind of in the
ball game but we didn't score. We hung
around for a bit and then they scored
their final tcajchcfown and final really

put it away*

Rookie quarterback Liam Putt led the
Lancers oifense with 165 passing yards*
one touchdown pass and no intercept
tkm Putt also finished the game as the
teams lead rusher with 65 yank Kicker
Anthony MaJandniccoto finished the
game with 276 punting yards along with
a 37 yard fidd goal while David McDuf¬
fie totaled 85 punt and kick return yards
to go along with 69 yards receiving. De¬
fensively, Tank Bonas had nine total
tackles while Matt Gayer finished the
game with seven

DAmore said inconsistency happens
with a young team led by a young quar¬
terback like Putt but there are things he
and the team can be better at and youth
does not affect them,

1 jam is getting comfortable and he is
making a lot of plays with his feetf said
DAmore “But at the same time I think
we are not helping him in some of our
positions that are veteran. Sometimes
ym need to make some plays for him
and build his confidence up but when
he makes four guys miss, whips it down
the fidd and we don't catch tt, we are not
hdpir^ him on the offensive skk of the
ball We are pretty veteran everywhere
dse except at quarterback and I think
right now h^ doing a tot and we're not
bailing him out”

Windsor got on the board first with
MalandruoxAds 37-yaid fidd goal, but
the Lancer-lead did not last lor^ as Mc-
Masters Wayne Moore found the end
zone three minutes later on a one-yard
run to takea 7-3 lead

Down 28-3 late in the second quarter,
Tarrence Crawford finished a Lancets

before the quarter ended to Me a 35-10
lead heading into halftime

After McDuffies drop in the end zone
and Malandruccolds missed 34-yard
fidd goal attempt early in the third, the
Lancers spedal teams unit took down
the McMaster punter at the 21-yard line.
Nate CfHaltoran caught a 17-yard pass
from Putt for a Windsor touchdown*
taking a short pass and faufldosdng a de¬
fender who stood between him and the
end zone Windsors defense forced a
Marauders conceded safety two posses¬
sions later in the third to cut the deficit
to 16.

With seven minutes remaining in the

in hopes of a third-down conversion
ODntinuing the drive but Putt would
be sacked back at the 26-yaid on file
next snap and turnover possession on
downs. Two plays later, Marauders
quarterback Asher Hastings completed
his fourth touchdown pass of the game
to Max Cameron and put the game out
of reach. A fumble on Windsors next
possesion forced a conceded safety to
round out the games scoring.

Lancets defensive back Austin Crumb
admitted some menial lapses on defen¬
sive assignments among the secondary
led to Hastings four touchdowns and
374 yards passing but said it is not for

a lack of effort amongst his teammatesL

' Were trying to do too much, were giv¬
ing too much effort, so we just need to
focus on our jobsT said Crumb

Windsor will now have a bye and will
next compete on die road against the
fifth-ranked Guelph Gryphons at
Alumni Stadium OcL 17.

"During die bye week we are going to
practice as if there is a game [this week]
and stay focused;' said Crumb “We
have to come out with fire and try to win
out for die rest of the season to make
playoffs and thatswhat we want to do so
we just have to come out hard* * 1

Andersons duties primarily involve
acting as a liaison on the Canadian side

also involves finding ways to streamline

a part in ensuring trade traffic is evenly
proportioned once the construction of
the Gordie Howe International Bridge

As for student invdvement toward bor¬

the opportunity existed in the past, the

prospects of it happening now are slim
to none due to the heightened security.

“Unfortunately because of the feet there*
more security involved and there* also

Another marquee mem soccer match¬
up at Alumni Fidd yielded another
positive result for the home team as
the Lancers earned a 2-1 win over the
McMaster Marauders in OUA regular
season play this past weekend

In a rematch of Windsors tone loss of
the season* a 2-1 setback in eariy Sep¬
tember, the Lancers needed to finish the
final ten minutes of the match with 1.0
men after Tony Falkestajn received his
second ydtow card of the matdi and
was subsequently sent off the pitch.

With the victory over the sev¬
enth-ranked Marauders, the fifth-
ranked Lancers remain in first place in
the OUA West division at 9-1-1 for 28
points while McMaster Ml to 8-3 and
the idle, third-ranked York lions re¬
main 7-1-2

Lancers director of soccer operations
Steve Hart said the high-energy match
was what Windsor expected mming jo
and now head into an important pair oi
weekend matches against the Guelph
Gryphons and Brock Badgers at Alum¬
ni Field Oct 9 and 10,

“McMaster came in off of a good win
against Western and we hid a day off
but we practiced hard in the rain af¬

Hart t( We were out here for two hours,
worked out, watched video and we ad¬

Some great passing early in the pmeept
Windsor on the board first with Leigh¬
ton Speechley-Priee finding the back
of the net in the eighth minute off of a
strong individual play fiom Chris AI-
Youssef. The Lancers 1 strong formation
throughout the half allowed them to
control the game and hold die one-goal
lead heading into the second halt

Hart bdkrved the score could have been
mudi larger at halftime had the Lancers
capitalized on more scoring opportuni¬
ties,

*1 thought for sure we were more than
valued for one at halt I was a bit disap¬
pointed it wasn’t three or fcmf sakJ Hart
‘When we talked to them at halftime*
we knew they were going come in here
and make it a rough game in the second
haT

Windsor extended their lead just two
minutes into the second half when
rookie Noah Pk> pulled three Marauder
defends and their goalie out of the net
and squeezed a pass to Speechky-Priee
who tapped it into the open net lor his
second of the game and 10th of the sea¬
son.

McMaster got on the board 10 minutes
later when a scramble in front of the
Lancer net allowed Stefan Shultz to gd
the ball past Lancer goaJtender Kyle Vi-
zirakis, ending his shutout streak at six
and a half matches or very dfose to 600
minutes without surrenderirgagoaL

The final ten minutes proved to be a
challenge for both teams as four yeflow

cards and a red card were handed out
over the waning minutes of regulation
and injury time but the Lancers used
thar experience of playing a man down
early in the season Id their advantage.
After EaBtestajn was sent off Windsor
adjusted to a four-four-one formation
and parked a0 30 defenders in front of
thdr god and disrupted any McMaster
attempts for an equalizer.

Speedily Price said the character and
togetherness of the team allowed them
to pull through yet again in a tight
match.

if we keep doing that, there is no rea¬
son why we can’t win this league,” said
Speechky-Price, ‘This was a massive

heard this is the best team weVe had and

situations presented on the screen. This
is the overarching effect, which makes
“Scano* such a powerful and effective
experience.

The film Mows Kate Mereer (Emily
Blunt), an FBI agent who is recruited by
an elected government task force led by
Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) to assist with

the war on drug? between the US and
Mexican border.

Kate is the filmk moral center and
through her eyes we see where each
side of the conflict will go to in older to
gain some form of edge In one of the
filn& many highlight sequences, we see
our task force lead a modem cavalry of
trucks and SUVs loaded with machine
gun turrets, as well as soldiers with auto¬
matic weapons across the border from
Texas into Juarez, Mexka The opera¬
tion is to extract a high level cartel leader
back to the US in order to interrogate
him to uncover the location ofthe high¬
er ups, the bosses ofthe bosses as it were

Part ofthe beauty of this film is I was

Two great causes were celebrated during
an evening of silent auctions, food wine
tasting and fun - on and offline ice * as
the Windsor Spitfires played host to the
annual Hockey and Heels event at the
WFCU Centre

Over 130 tidkets had been sold out
weeks prior to the ladles night out even^
which saw aS proceeds going towards
foeWfrickor Essex County Cancer Care
Foundation and the Windsor Spitfires
FoundatkHx

Event coordinator Jennifer Pomeiieau
said over $3,800 was raised few the two
charities and all those who attended had

T& a Me bit different than your reg¬
ular charity event this is all Mi back

at the hockey game,” said Pomerieau
"You’re just mingling with your friends
in the suite, the only difference is to¬
night the funds go to charity, ft makes
it a no-brainer. Just the feet that we sold
out and we had aft of these people here
fighting against cancer and rootii^ for
the Spitfires makes it a successful coHaJ>
oration.”

Bomerieau said they wish to continue
to make Hockey and Hods an annual
event and ftwas gprattoget both togeth¬
er but make sure to look for other up¬
coming events put on by both charities
to support other specific causes such as
breast or prostate cancer.

Houkta Kassem, manager and director
of development at WECCCE has been
involved with local and regional on-air
community-focused media far over fif¬
teen years. Kassem cunenfry hosts and

produces TVCogeco Windsors show
"HoukJa and Friends” and can also
be found regularfy hosting a variety of
events.

Kassem said Hockey and Heels has gen¬
erated quite a hit of money for the can¬
cer centre foundation

“ftsa wonderful thing to see people col¬
laborate like this for a good cause, “said
Kassem “We sold out and that makes
me happy Women came together and
said we are supporting the foundation,
we are supporting the cancer centre and
we are supportii^ the Spitfires.”

Kassem added everts such as this assure
those involved the funds raised remain
focal and make sure those living in our
community with cancer get the help
they need

*Wfe take for granted our daily lives

what we have in front of us. ftk easy to

point out what we dorit have as op¬
posed to what we do have. There are
people who struggle every single day
and they walk through that door and
they make ft work for foemsdvesT said
Kassem. "WeVe got a bunch of women
who are excited, hangi n g out with oth¬
er girlfriends with some silent auction
items that are available, great food, great
friendship, butwe also get to support the
Windsor Spitfires and attend this game”

Those who attended saw the hometown
Spitfires hockey team dominate the vis¬
iting Saginaw Spirit on the ice 7-1 and
enjoyed the hot start foe young QHL
team is on to begin foe 2015-16 season.
While foe Spitfires have always been
competitive on the ice, Kassem said ft is
their contributions to foe community,
which makes the dub a winner year in
and year out, regardless of their results
on foe scoreboard.

“The great thing about die Spitfires
is they are contimiafiy doing thin^
for our community so they give back
just as mudif said Kassem. “Doing an
event like this, they certainly demit have
to, they have thdr own foundation, but
they are continually giving back to their
community to make a difference.”

Another part Kassem said is humbling
about being a part of this type of event is
seeing money coming in for foe Cancer
Centre Foundation from multiple local
donors, no matter how large.

“ft is important that we get this message
across,” said Kassem * f We have people
who are so generous in Windsor Essex
County who continue to support any¬
one in our community living with can¬
cer and it means a lot, not only to metwt
to the staff at foe cancercentre and foe
staff at foe foundation.”

Theatre Review: Jekyll & Hyde

*The Strange Case of Dr Jekyfl and Mr

conflicting than a kind-hearted, ambi¬

tale of duality has come to pace a va¬

whkh makes it stand out from the pack.
Simply titled "Jekyfl & Hyde its the lat¬

The Arts Council Windsor Region is
aiming to draw in more potential vol¬

It was on Oct 14 when the smART

off at the Artspeak Gallery* where the
ACWR offices are held Those inter¬
ested in the Arts Council or others just
looking to give back to die community
attended an orientation which con¬
sisted of teaming about the ACWKs
background objective and positions
available for volunteers. Some of the
positions range from gallery assistant to
strategic planning through the coundfs
board of directors.

"1 think I want to give back to due com¬
munity, and Fm interested and involved
in the arts, so this seemed like a good
opportunity to see what they're aboutT
said Sue Cole, a visual artist who attend¬
ed the volunteer session.

supporting focal artists by giving them
a canvas to display their work via the
Attspeak Gallery. They also aid in grant
consultation* host a series o f workshops
and offer a comprehensive calendar,
which showcases numerous art events

within the community.

With it being a non-profit organization,
volunteers are integral to the ACWR
So by havii^ this orientation session,
people will have a near complete idea as
to what the organization expects from

them* as wefi as how they will eventu*
ally benefit from getting themselves in¬
volved

"'Signing up online a little tat removed
from the actual volunteer experience
that they would be having' said ACWR

Outreach Coordinator and gallery
manager Laura Service, "To have these
kinds of sessions where its really open
and transparent about what the arts
council is and what we do, hopefully it
encourages people to want to be a part

of that*

The next volunteer session is scheduled
for Nov 19, however it is possible to vol¬
unteer beforehand by applytog through

Taking The Challenge To
Ride For Juvenile Diabetes

ROHANKHANNA

The Lance Contributor

When you hear the word "bike ride?
you may typically think of a person
riding a pedal bike, or a moforcyde en¬
thusiast revving his engine on a bright
sunny day* This weekend however, sta¬
tionary bikes were the focal point of a
focal initiative to raise awareness for the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation*

JDRF is a global ojg^uiizatfoa which
focuses on type one diabetes (T1D) re¬
search and also a charitable supporter.
On Oct 15, the Ride for Diabetes Re¬
search event was conducted outside the
Devonshire Mall tobring in as many
people as possible to spread awareness
of the disease ft was a corporate event
where participants were asked to come
in teams of five and ride for seven min¬
utes, each on their own stationary bike

Wlioever was the fastest person on
the bake would get a reward for then-
achievement at the wrap up party The
aim of this event was to fund type 1 di¬
abetes (T1D) research for cures, bettor

treatments and preventions* It was filled
to the brim with high energy and lively
music, creating an exuberant ambience
The response was positive at best as
people of aE ages gathered to participate
m the event while Buflalo Wild Wingi,
Perfect little Weddings aid Devonshire
Mail were just a few of the corporations
that came together and provided dona-
tiom

"ft is very competitive for some of the
teams and is a lot of fan? said Nkole
Cossad the event organizer. "With dia¬
betes it is a)mplkated as there is type 1
and type 2 diabetes. These events can
help people by listening to die youth
ambassadors speak about what it is like
living with type 1 and how this affects
them in a positive way?

ft was a windy Thursday morning, but
the spirit of the people ensured a pos¬
itive warmth for the cause Complete

New Health Innovation Initiative
Looks to Connect Worldwide

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

The Wbdd Health Innovation Netwode
isfookingtoreach out and bring togeth-
er leaders in health technology to share
and teach health technologies with one
another,

WIN, housed in the Odette School of
Business, has a goal to provide aB Ca¬
nadians with a topof-the-line health
care and economic growth within the
industry. According to the chair of the
initiative, the reason they're partnering
with the US* is because of the strengths
of our health fields.

"We both spenda lot of money 1 to deliv¬
er a k>l of health care but its not sustain-
able? said Dr. Anne Snowdon* ‘Were
not currently achievi ng all of the quality
outcomes we need to achieve as it stands
but, with this initiative, were hoping to
achieve a higher standard! 1

Canada and the US arrrenffy share a
work force, primarily in the Windsor
and Detroit areas, and also take care
of each others patients, Snowdon said
both groups have to attain sustainability
and see how they can evolve health care

to benefit everyone

“We both need to get there but the best
way to get there foster and more effec¬
tively is to work together? said Snow¬
don

According to Snowdon, when countries
work independently it is more likdy they
will find different ways to do the same
thing when in reality we could share our
knowledge and methods and focus our
forces on news things As Snowdon puts
ft, l< theres no need to reinvent the wheel! 1

Snowdon said the network wffl do three
filing - the first being what they have
already started by creating new partner-
shfos with colleagues in the US, She said
the mix of expertise from both countries
will hdp the fidd grow to new 7 levels.

"One thing were currently working
on is to get medical supplies where
they need to be as fost as possible? said
Snowdoa ‘turrentiy there is a lot of
papa' work and invoicing which takes
up time and is too long a process. We
wanttogrt our model equivalent to that
of Walmarts where with one scan they
can teH you exadly where a piece ofham
came from, what it was fed and other

important details - we need something
like this in our medical fields?

Secondly, the network will work to train
up the next generation ofleaders to take
over tiffs project in the coming years.
Snowdon said they don't just teach busi¬
ness students the trade and it is open to
many other groups including, science,
computer science and nursing students.

The third thing WIN will work towards
will be to bring all the infarrnaikHi on a
global scale of health and to see where ft
is going in the futum

“Were focusing on the education, re-
search and leadership? said Snowdon*
"The end goal is to have a very high
performing health system in Canada
that is able to quickly adopt irew prod¬
ucts and tedmbfogies to bring business
to companies which raises the nations
GDP whirh in turn fuels the healthcare
system?

The innovative initiative will be looking
to expand grow and better healthcare
around the world all tlirough the Uni¬
versity of Windsor*

access courses they may need or find
interesting offered at port-secondary
institutions across Ontario With Uni¬
versity of Windsor^ 100 online courses
offered through the portal and over
13,000 dasses total, students will be able
to access what they need and when they
neediL

Nkk Baker, the director of the Office
of Open Learning, said they have been
working on the project for a few years
now and the o riginal goal at mind was
to allow students to access all toe online
dasses across Ontario.

“Before toe portal you have to go to the
individual school websites and search
for the dasses you wanted which can
be very tedious,” said Baker 1 A lot of the
courses can be hard to find, are unlisted
and different webstes have dilferent set
ups which can cause confustonT

Baker said the government wanted stu¬
dents to have more mobility between
other schools online and to fin d a path -
way through their degrees as quickly as
possible.

“Lots of students get blocked because
they get to a point where they realize
they missed out on a course they should
have had earlier fchalk not being offered
again for another year at dieir own cam¬
pus,” said Baker. "We wanted a way to
facilitate for students that may be going
dirough this - a way for students to be
able to take courses they have missed
sooner and get them through school
fester, or at least on tinteT

The website, on top of having online
courses, also provides students with
tods and guides to hdp them through
thdr post-secondary endeavors. It also
provides information on how to apply
to universities and colleges for students
looking to get in to post-secondary It is

completely open to everyone interested
in furthering their education, from high
school students to people takingtimeoff
and also existing students.

The porta! is aLso working to bring cred¬
it transferability information to the easi¬
est point passible.

According to Baker, the website was
bttiktobea>mple^ cus¬

tomizable and as fest as possible He said
H was made with mobile first in mind so
its accessible across all platforms.

Baker said this is only Phase One for the
eCampus as they are looking to expand
cm the courses and services available.

“For one thing, we want to build up
air resource list as there are a lot more

available, its just a matter of centralizing
them,” said Baker. "Lang term, we want
to see access to these courses as easily as
possible.”

On the wdisite, when you dick on a
course it will bring you to the university's
page obtaining hew to sign up for the
course Baker said the goal is to bypass
that rtep and bring students straight to
the signup with no hassle

"Were looking to create flexibility for
students as opposed to an online uni¬
versity said Baker. “Nothing is out of
the question for the fotore of diis project
though”

so Fm very proud of them for the result”
Hart said "The conditions a^irat Wa¬
terloo were awful, they had snow over
the weekend and it was gale force winds.

out of our half because the ball would
come right back to us but we settled
down, kqtf the bail on the ground and
eventually we worked our way through
_ we gut our just desserts, the grris dom¬
inated in foe end"

where we are playing.”

mulated 37 points with only one match

A Bit of Mozart and Schubert

With Plenty of Skill

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

Theres a fickle thing when it comes to
writing about classical music For one,
Tve never written, but only listened H
would be quite a stretch to call mysdf
versed; yet ther& a plated entbuaasm
where the ears prop up at the sign of an
orchestrated tune.

The Intimate Classics, courtesy of the
Windsor Symphony Orchestra, is a
program where you have experts play¬
ing the music of masters. An Oct 18
afternoon saw the works of Woligang
Amadeus Mozart and Franz Schubert
be played for a quiet, but invested Cap¬
itol Theatre audience With Mozart
consisting of the first halt the set was
divided into a four-muskian flute and
oboe quartet With fean-Francois Rom-
pre and Graham Madenzie at flute and
oboe respectively each musician carried
the talent, energy and passion needed to
drive home a beautiful, joyful piece.

The Mozart set allowed for musicians
on stag? to showcase their individu¬
al skill, as you were aHe to deariy hear
every note being produced from each
instrument being played The level of
performance carried on towards the
work of Franz Schubert, and the eight
differe nt musicians who performed his
Octet in F Major, Schubert made up
for the second half, as the hour-long set
varied from upbeal tunes to contempla¬
tive ones. While the music itself had its
fair share of repetition, the near flawless
performance from the WSO members
made it easy to overlook

Personally its aD too easy to be engaged
in work backed by sheer talent and dis¬
cipline, but classical is never reafly oneto
make any converts, With youth, either
you care to listen or you dorit In a way
its unfortunate too, as it can be contem¬
plative^ reflective and wanning. Classi¬
cal is an evocation in on its own, on top
ofbdng a piece of history.

Personalized Learning and Strategies
for those with Learning Disabilities

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

The University of Windsors Student
Success Centre is committing to creat¬
ing equal opportunities and access for
students with disabilities.

According to thdr mission statement,
the centre t$ also here to promote
awareness throughout the campus and
community as well as providing the
services for those who need it Some of
these services include quiet rooms and
otoKkd testing times, audio todbooks
and note-takers among many other

Learning strategist and disability advise
at the University, Rkhard Hayes, said
most of what they see at the centre is
what they call invisible disabilities.

"This categorizes disabilities that arent
obvious like ADHD, brain injuries and
other kinds of conditions," said Hayes.
‘■Specifically on learning disabilities,
my job as a strategist is to hdp students
better understand their disabilities, what
thdr learning profile is and what their
strengths are because when people first
come here they focus on what thdr
weaknesses are and we try to flip that! 5

Along with leamit^ disabilities, the

university also offers support for other
disabilities including ADD and ADHD,
psychiatric disabilities, low vision and
blindness, deafaess and hard of hearing,
mobility impairments, ehronk medical
conditions and acquired brain injuries.
According to Hayes, the success centre
wants to help students with these dis¬
abilities prepare tool kits to help them
succeed in post-secondary education
and into the work place,

"We want to turn individual's strengths
into real assets when they're studying,*
said Hayes. “For example, we haw a lot
of students with reading disabilities with
exceptional skills in visual processing.
There areways to study and process text
formats and turn their visual strengths
into assets when dealing with reading”

Hayes said the centre wants to hdp stu¬
dents with any disabilities to be able to
find thdr stealths to use for them to
deal with thdr disability and move for¬
ward

He also said everything they do is to
help students compete fairly, not to give
students an advantage over others. He
said the reasons offices like the Student
Disability Services open is because it is
generally realized students with disabil¬
ities are found to be at a disadvantage

and ife hard for them to find ways to
level the playing field

There are four advisors In the office at
the University of Windsor and when
students are trying to figure out if they
haw a disability and want to seek help,
Hayes said they should make an ap¬
pointment to get things started

'AH die advisors haw different lands of
specialties and it all starts by coming in
and chattingwith someone," said Hayea
"In the case of a leamii^ disability; even
if there Is no diagnosis yet, if evidence
suggests there could be a learning dis-
ability then well start the process to help
students to get an assessment done.*

Hayes said for someone to be able to
access the help at the centre, they need
a current assessment on file from die
past three to five years and the specific
requirements within that assessment
He said its always best to come in and
chat before any action is taken whether
it be for a learning disability or any other
disabilities recognized by the University
ofWindsor.

mentary short and feature films will be

thousands of patrons wHI be subjected
to a great wealth of films made from
over 35 Gauntries, induding Cana¬
da. With last years festival selling over
15,000 tickets throughout its ma the
festival has begun to emerge as a cultural
and community staple

'When talking with distribute when
talking with filmmakers, they know
what were up to, they know what weVe
been up to for yeaisT said WIFF Exec¬
utive Director Vincent Georgfe. “They
know that our audience just wants to
see great movies. WIFF is about great
movies, thats just the bottom tine. 14

From edgy to heartfelt, from hanwing

to hilarious* the festival aims to cover
aH earners and deliver an audience-fo¬
cused experience everybody can enjoy:

Not to mention films like 'Bom to be
Bhie or About Elly ! where the former
has yet to be screened in the region
and the latter having yet to be screened
anywhere in Canada Bttt on top of the
usual festival perks, theres also a sense of
tradition through their signature safes.
The festival means to bring bade the
crowd pteaserThe Intoudiables'due to
the immense success the festival has had
screening it in tiie past

“The Intouchahles' has been on Netfiix
for a couple of years, but there* some¬
thing about it thatis magical to our au¬
dience that have loved it more than any
other film, and it also makes it abit ofa
tradition!’ Georgie said

Tradition is also being retained tftrough
the CAN/AM Grand Prix of Cinema
and the 48-Hour Hickfest which was
hdd on the weekend of Oct 17, Out of
the 90 films to be screened 23 of thou
are Canadian, with at least a handful of
them bang produced to the Windsor/
Essex region The festival abo takes
a step further by choosing to honour
homegrown filmmaker Dylan Pierce
by screening two of his films "40 Below
and Falling and Whatever It Was! The
former is Bert* latest film induded in
his body of work while latter is among
his earliest made in 2009 where it had

a successful and ler^tfry theatrical run

Whatever It Was’ as a soeenwriter ’‘it

of creative filmmakers and film proib-

The Ambassador Bridge
is Falling Down

With pieces of the international bridge between Canada and the U.S - dosing streets and causing damag¬
es, we're seeing the dosing and potential dosing of wads crossing under the bridge.

Scaffolding has been put up underneath the bridge on the sidewalks for pedestrians to go through but
there is no vehicular access through Wyandotte , Peter and Donnelly streets.

After the press conference held Oct. 16 there was no word as to what the next steps wilt be . Both city and
bridge issued inspections have been initiated , however there is no word as what to will be done to better

or fix the issue.

The University of Windsor parking tots have not yet been dosed and all are accessible via Indian Road.
The parking lots will remain opened to students until further notice.

A Celebration of Words and

Arts Editor

The Capitol 'rheatre, usually known for
concerts or film screenings, found itself
recently boasting in literary prowess

From Oct 15 to 18, the theatre was
home to the 14th year of Backtest
Windsor. An event which initially be¬
gan as a single afternoon session grad¬
ually transformed into a four-day festi¬
val where people can listen to featured
authors about tlieir work and the writ¬
ing process in general Not to mention
the dozens of books which were made
available for purchase with the help and
collaboration of local library BMioasts*

‘Windsors a literary town,” said Book-
fest planning committee chair Sarah far-
m “Themk a lot of writers here and this
grew out of a desire for focal people to
hear more authors and to invite authors
to come, so this is something people

Some of the events and panels within
the festival included a writing workshop
with author Kelly Fbidon asvrell as a po¬
etry cafe. Part of the festival was also hdd
in the Canadian Club Heritage Centre
where authors spoke about stories with¬

in Windsor's prohibition-era history.

The University of Windsor was also
present during the festival through the
Humanities Research Group, as some
faculty and staff spoke about schokriy
writing and peer review

"It creates something where nothing has
been before Its not the easiest thing in
tiie world to do, and T wonder whats go¬
ing to happen next in the 21st century
with scholarly publishing said Dr Erica
Stevens Abbitt, panelist and School of
Dramatic Art associate professor

UWmdsor womens studies professor
Fauline Phipps moderated a one?hour
panel, which placed a focal point in the
research and development behind ac¬
ademic journals, comparing and con¬
trasting its trials and tribulations in the
digital age. More importantly it shed
light on how this aspect of academia will
carry on from the past and towards the
foture-

“Ones intuition would be well digital

Halloween Horrors Await Those
Brave Enough to Walk Them

KAR-LEIG HKELSO

The Lance Contributor

Looking for something to make you pee
your pants in fear this weekend? Grab
mi exim pam and mid at% as The I mice
has scouted out mm of the most popular
HaOomen attractions across Windsor
and Essex County. However, please be
advised some of the below attractions me
intendedfuries 12and up. Having di$~
dosed this, here are some thirds to do in
Windsor to celebrate Halloween the right
way,

SCAREHOUSE

First and foremost in the lineup is the
Scarehouse ofcfowntown Wmdsar

Located this year at 576 OueSette Ave.,
Scarehouse is celebrating its eighth year
serving the need to terrify its custom¬
ers when it comes to classic and pine
haunted house shenanigans. At three
Soots and 21,000 $q. ft of scaring space,
Scarehouse is the largest haunted house
attraction in Southwestern Ontario.

Production designer Shawn Lippert
said no one is safe in Scarehouse and
your $15 admission will be wadi-spent as
you roam betwesi its rooms.

a M yourfoars and phobias airm dieter

said lippert

In order to keep some secrets, Lip¬
pert listed some common phobias in¬
dulged inside Scarehouse including, but
not limited to, daiLstrophobia, fear of the
dark, creepy’ crawlers, clowns and The
crazy girl in the insane asylum." Most
actors will not touch you but they will
comewithin dose prodmifyofyoti

“We understand if youte going to dish
ottt $15 to get into our haunt ifs got to be
at a levd thafe worth that fifteen budcsT
said Lippert, as his wife wandered by
dressed as aWhiteWalker from die tele¬
vision show Game of Thrones. “There?
always something that will mess with
your head inside one of our haunts!*

With a lineup around the comer aD the
way to die dd Capri Pizza location, they
must be doing something right Get
there before 9 pm if you want to awDid a
massive lineup. They will be open every

night from October 22 to 31, and it wffl
only get busier as Halloween approach-

HAUNTED FORT
MALDEN

Next up is Fort Maiden in Amherst-
burg If you have a friend who drives, ii
is a greatway to leam some local, creepy
history. Sometimes the scariest things
can be found in die true stories of his¬
tory

Fort Malden tour guide Alex Dak di¬
vulged in some ofthe local history ofthe
fort; induding some events which, ac¬
cording to him, not many locals know
themselves.

*1 think that the feet that we are a fort
and we are a military site involved with
the war of 1812 and the rebellions of
1837, and were the only fort in town re¬
ally makes it into a unique setting,” said
Dale. ‘Its a gloomy setting... and it has
the history of being not only a garrison
for soldiers during war but also it [was]
a more bizarre period Most people in
the area [don’t realize] it was a provincial
lunatic asylum in the 1800$;

Heres your chance.

The guided tour winds through vari¬
ous fort areas induding a barracks and
cookhouse, where local actors will be
performing slots to visually display the
storks being told by the guide This in¬
dudes soldier desertions, amputations
and eteculkm Not to mention the im¬
prisoned mentally ill

Because of the very real nature of the
fort, Dale advises not to wander—you
may 611 into a trench or foe Detroit Riv-
er itself, as the grounds are not well-lit

Admission is $9.80 and all money
raised goes to The HouseYouth Centre
in Axnheisdxiigand the tours will con¬
tinue to run October 23,24 25 and 30
from fr30 pm to 9 pm and leave every
15 minutes from the visitors centre.

If paying $15 isnt particularly in your
budget this Halloween season, but you
still want a great scare, one of Essex
County’s longest running haunted at¬
tractions returns this weekend at a high¬
ly- anticipated brand new location

For more than 40 years, the Gesto
Spookhouse has been a staple in the
lisex commtmity, drawing in over 100
volunteers and attracting attendance re¬
cords of more than 2,000 patrons. The
Spookhouse is geared towards collect¬
ing canned goods for their local food
bank, typically donating 5,000 goods.
Run this year by Kathy MaiDoux and
her three copartners, the Spookhouse
has been preparing for this weekends
performances since late August

From downs, to zombies, witches
to goblins, tight spaces and dimly lit
rooms, the Gesto Spookhouse will cer¬
tainly have ymt clinging onto the poor

THIESSEN’S HAUNTED
ORCHARD

Last but certainty not least in our series
is the locally famousThiesser^ Orchard,
who this year introduced their haunted
orchard and (unbaunted) com maze
attractions.

Part-owner Krissy Thkssen said
there is nothing tame about thdr or¬
chard-greenhouse hybrid haunting
walk-tbnoughs. She noted their most
prominent actors are the creepy 1 downs
who will be roaming.

"If downs aren’t your thing, this prob-
ably isrit the place you want to beT said

of souls.

fust in case there are those interested
in getting into the Halloween spirit but
really are not looking to have to change
ihdr dothes, they do also offer“Scaredy
Cat” afternoons where the attractions
are up and running with all the lights
ore They do also note the haunted bam
is too intense for young children and
that actors or special effects may touch

Spitfires Continue To Pile Up
Points Early in OHL Campaign

BRiTTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Spitfires took four of a possible six
points this past week in Ontario Hotk¬
ey League actioa paying three gmes
in a four day stretch against the Ottawa
6T$, Gudph Storm and Owen Sound
Attack

Minutes after rookie Dan Beaudoins
second goal of the OHL season tkd the
game and earned the Spitfires a point
a momentary defensive lapse between
Beaudoin and defensemen Logan Stan¬
ley allowed Ottawa^ Austen Keating to
spring free on a breakaway and score
his second goal of the contest 103 into
overtime, giving the 67*5 a 4-3 win over
the Spitfires at the WFCU Centre Oct
15.

Spitfires head coach Rocky Thonfwson
said it was tough to squander a point af¬
ter playing a solid first two periods.

"We weren’t perfect but we were gettii^

shots and chances^ Thompson said
“Their goalie made some big saves and
it was a tight game going into the third
They came out hungry in the third and
I dunk you could see our immatnrityas
a team when we got on our heels in the
first four shifts.”

Cristiano DtGtadnto opened the soar¬
ing at the 522 mark of the first period
DiGiadntbs fourth of the year was the
lone goal of the opening 20 minutes.

Keatings first of the game, his first in
the OHL, came midway through the
second period and bed the game up for
Ottawa.

Hayden McCod picked up the other
goal for Windsor with his third Otta¬
wa forwards Dante Salituro scored on
a power play and former Spitfire Sam
Studnkka rounded out the regulation
scoring for the visitors.

With Windsor trailing 3-2 late in the
third period Beaudoin scored his sec¬
ond of the season to fie the game with
only 4:08 to play in regulation and ulti¬
mately forte overtime before Keatings

overtime -victory.

“We recovered and got the point and we
had a good opportunity in overtime, we
had a lot of possession in overtime hut
made a mistake on their goal” Thomp¬
son said ‘Ottawa made a line change
and we never tracked foe guy coming
out and foe defensemen made a g^eat
play from behind his net to Keating- so
thats the way it goes sometimes unfor¬
tunately?"

Spitfires rookie goaltender Michael Di-
Pietro hiked Windsors two-game skid
when they travelled to Gudph to take
on the Storm at the Sfoeman Centre
Oct 16. DiPteteo, 16, shined once again
for foe Spitfires eariy in his m^or junior
Itockey career, makar^; 36 saves and
propelling Windsor to a 2-1 win over
foe Storm in front of nearly 3*500 tens,

Garrett McFadden opened the scoring
with his first of the season with 5:17
remaining in the first period After get¬
ting a breakaway' pass from Vladislav
Barulin, McFkideres batted a rebound
out of mid-air after his initial breakaway
shot sailed high but bounced off of the

glass back into the slot for his first of the
seasoa

Spitfires forward Brad Latour scored
on the power play in foe first period to
tie the score at one Latour knocked a
centering pass into foe open cage after
Logan Brown pulled Storm goalkeep¬
er fustin Nichols out of position and
slid foe puck toa cutting Latour for his
fourth oftheyear.

Aaron Luchuk cashed in his fifth goal of
the year off of a rebound after Hayden
McCod took a centering pass from
Anthony Stefeno and fired the puck on
goaf Nkhob had the puck covered but
turned to lode behind him as foe puck
came out to Luchuk who made no mis¬
take from just outside the blue paint for
the game-winner,

DiPtotro stopped 28 shots in the final
two periods of foe contest and im¬
proved liis recoid to 4-0.

Two days later, the Spitfires squeezed
another point out of foe weekend by
coming back to tie the Owen Sound
Attack in regulation but Jarett Meyer

would score just 35 seconds into over¬
time and give the home team a 4-3 win
over foe Spitfires in front of2359 at JD
McArthur Arena Oct 18.

Windsor is currently 2-2-1 in overtime
games this year and DiGiadoto said the
one thing he has learned about the 3-on-
3 overtime format is that anything can
happen

"Its one bounce away from a break¬
away like weve seen or another bounce
from an odd-man rushT DiGiacinto
explained 'Its tough to say. Guys with
speed are definitely key. If you have a
guy who can slow it down and control
foe puck we can keep teams down tow
in their defensive zone and tire them
out- Its new to everyone so hopefiiiiy
as foe year goes on there wffl be a little
more strategy to it”

After Windsor’s Anthony Stefeno
opened the scoring on a power goal as¬
sisted by Gabriel VilardL Evao Szypula
helped Owen Sound build a 2-1 toad
with his fourth and filth goals of foe sea-
son, both of which came with the man
advantage, Duizi pushed foe Attack

lead to 3-1 when he walked into the of¬
fensive zone and blasted a slap shot past
Giugovaz

From there foe Spitfire^ comeback was
on as V0aidi received credit for tipping
in an Andrew Bums point foot for his
fifth with just over nine minutes re¬
maining Luehuk would then force the
extra session withhisteamdeading sixth
of foe season at 1523 of the third peri¬
od, banging in a rebound past Michael
McNiven and helping the Spitfires earn
one point in all but one of the dubs first
lOgames,

McNiven earned foe win in goal tor the
Attack with 20 saves while Windsors
Michael Giugovaz made 33 saves but

In the recent years dties of Windsor
and Detroit hare been undagoing sig¬
nificant changes in foeir infrastructure,
both eronomkally and industrially

A month long exhibition during No¬
vember is going to take place whkh
seeks to explore foe ecological system

of urban spaces and foe influence of art
architecture, media, musk and film in
the environments. The exhibition is an
initiative of the InHorninus Research
group who want to pursue the bound¬
aries between art technofogy media
and science.

"We are looking for submissions that

i

explore the shifting nature of our urban
arrironment” said Dr Lee Rodney, the

associate professor of art history and vi¬
sual culture.

Recently, In/Tenninus took students
and faculty from foe School of Creative
Arts across foe border to see a number
of art galleries across the city of Detroit
Students came back from foe tour fed-
ing “enlightened" despite having per¬
haps visited Detroit a number of times,
as foe visit highlighted open-air outdoor

exhibits and how they complemented
Detroits urban environment

Covering themes like maker culture,
mkio-manufecturirig, foe edge of the
dty, transit trading cultures and so on,
this new exhibition encourages every¬
one to submit their works that revolve
around these topics.

"The work can be local to foe Wind¬

sor Detroit region or from other dties
in Canada or around the world,” said
Rodney

The project is being tunded by TheEn-

Lancers Capture Windsor Open Title

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Lancer aoss-a>untry team put in
another strong showing as they dom¬
inated die Windsor Open at Malden
Park ewer the weekend

Windsor captured both team titles and
saw exceptional performances from a
number ofkey athletes on the roster

On the womens side, Alik Paries and
Stelanie Smith swept the top two spots,
pushing each other as they ran through¬
out the five-kilometer course* Parks
placed first overall with a time of 1935
while Smith was second with a time of
1952

Parks, 22 is a transfer from the Univer¬
sity of Montana and said her last couple
of races has been the benefit of her new
Lancets training regiment

"When you want to prove yourself on a
new teamit really pushes you that much
mote and Fve seen that in my times,"
Parks said Tve been fester than I have
in die past coupk of y^is whidi is awe¬
some Everyone is ready supportive here
and the team atmosphere really makes
you want to do your best for everybody
Its a huge motruatoiT

Smith said the Windsor Open was a
'good opportunity for the women to
work the course as a team with the OUA
diampionships in \\teikto coming up
OcUL

“We knew the course was going to be
physically tough so it was good for us

mentally to work on some team tactics;'
explained Smith, "Hopefully things will
align once we get to OUAkT

Smith added living a teammate like
Parks helps her and the rest of the team
to improve as runners.

1 knew coming in to the season we
would work well togetheif said Smith,
“Ifs great to have someone right with
you to work with during races, espedai-
ly when Fm tired and I know 1 can’t give
in because shes helping me along, shes
right there with me and were pushing
each other and ifs awesome. The goal is
todowhaleveristakestogettothestart-
ing line at CIS champtorahip in Gudph
~ we know we are the underdogs but
mentally we are really on our game right
nowf

Chelsea Viselli was Windsor's next scor¬
er, crossed the line in a time of 2151,
Rounding out the Lancer scorers were
Alison Robinson in 2239 and Sydney
Hawkins in 2251,

“I think if we all get out there and do
what weeandoweeangettothe GS
meet* Paries said "If the whole team can
get there that would be really amazing.
Fm really excited to see what the Cana¬
dian competition has to offer

On the mem side, Nkk Falk, a Lancer
alumni running with the University of
Windsor Athletic Guh, captured the
individual tide with a time of 25:08*
Alex Ullman was the first Lancer across
the line, finishing the dght-kifometer
course in a time of 26:16- Taylor McAr¬
thur was right behind him at 2623, and
Andrew Nebd ran a solid 2630* Corey

Zack Jones, Corey Belle more and Paul Janikowski of the Windsor Lancers cross country team compete on
the eight kilometre course at the Windsor Open meet at Malden Park QcL 17, The Windsor men won the
overall team title at the meet and are ranked second headed into the OUA championships in Waterloo

Oct 31*

Belkmore and Paul Janikowski picked it
up on the final lap and finished with the
exact same lime of2637.

With a stable of runners at their dis¬
posal the second-ranked mere crass
country team does not have a problem
with depth, only deciding who the sev¬
en runners will be when die Lancet toe
the starting line at the OUA champion¬
ships mWaterioa

McArthur said the Lancers used the fi¬
nal meet of the season to work out and
finalize their raster for the upcoming
OUA Championships Oct 31 in Wa¬
terloo*

'Our top five guys arc on the OUA
raster but there are still two open spots
for the rest of the team to fight foif ex¬
plained McArthur “It was a good team
battle out there and that is what makes
our team great Were all working for
each other and towards the same goal
but at the end of the day two spots have
to be given to two people „ we all under¬
stand how strai^ we are.”

Earlier this season at the McMaster In¬
vitational, the Lancers had to use thdr
sixth and seventh runners to determine
a tiebreaker for the meet tide. A similar
situation occurred at the 2014 OUA
meet, which cost the Lancers the overall

team title.

T& not going to be five guys souring
this yearf said McArthur. "Its going to
be five guys scoring and two other guys
displacing the other teams scores so itis
a seven-man team out there during ev¬
ery race in diampionship season. W&e
ranked second right now but last week
we were ranked sixth so we could end
up first, second or sixth at any given
meet so we need to be a seven-man
team"

Should the Lancers advance, the 2015
CIS cross-country championships will
take place in Guelph Nov. 14

For the month of November*
Charles Clark Square will shine
purple for an important cause re¬
garding an issue estimated to af¬
fect one in four women in Ontario
alone.

The Hiatus House of Windsor cel ¬
ebrated its second Shine the Light
ceremony at Charles Clark Square
on the evening of Nov. 2, lighting
the pine tree on the square's east
side with garlands of purple bulbs.
According to the Hiatus House,
the color purple is a symbol of
courage and the lights are meant
to be a silent beacon of support for
women and children in abusive
situations, 'They are also meant to
start the conversation on erasing
abuse for good.

Karry Normandeau, Support Ser¬
vices Administrator for the Hiatus
House said there was special con¬
sideration put into the location of
the lit tree and the significance it
would have to the community.

“We want to start a conversation”
said Normandeau, “The great
thing about this particular loca¬
tion is that Eva, who was the one
who brought Shine the Light to
Windsor* she came to me with an

idea and she said, T have a vision,
and that vision is to turn that tree
in Charles Clark Square purple 1 ...
I love the lights because I imagine
myself as a victim, and I'm in an
abusive relationship* Vm skating
at Charles Clark Square or I walk
by Charles Clark Square and I
see purple lights and I think its
a silent reminder of support that
shines all night long.”

The Shine the Light event origi¬
nated in London* ON. live years

ago. When shelter worker and
survivor Eva Kratochvil heard
about it, she asked the London
Abused Women’s Centre if they
would mind if Windsor had
its own version of the ceremo¬
ny. They were all for it

Executive Director Thom Rolfe
said he was very happy to see the
number of people standing before
him in Charles Clark Square and
that it would be especially import¬
ant for members of the communi¬
ty to keep the conversation going
to spread the word about Hiatus
House and the support it can offer
to those in abusive or potentially
abusive situations.

“It’s about starting a conversa¬
tion* and today we start the con¬
versation here by lighting the tree
and showing our silent support

ceremony in Charles Clark Square Nov 2>

to those who need it,” Rolfe said
to the crowd in Charles Clarke
Square.

The Hiatus House currently has 42
beds in residence and is consider¬
ing opening up a second county

location to help even more women
and children in need

In addition to bouts of purple
popping up in Windsor business¬
es, Hiatus House will also be sell¬
ing purple scarves, the proceeds of

which will go entirely to the Hia¬
tus House to help fund its various
services. Scarves are available for
purchase at the Womyns Centre at
the University of Windsor: infini¬
ty scarves are $15 or two for $25,
and non-infinity scarves are $10.

__ There are many things Santarossa said

A University ofWindsor graduate and
PhD. candidate in the&mhyofldnesi-
ok>gyrec£ntfywm

arship at die ATHENA Scholarship
Program and luncheon.

The event and scholarship recognized
young local women who have an excel
lent academic record and are outstand-
ing leaders in their community

Sara Santarossa was recognized as one
of these individuals and said she believes
a lot of the values of ATHENA are her
own and now she can go out in the
community and act as an ambassador
for them.

”1 think through receiving the award,
it will really give me the opportunity

to continue mentoring and educating
young females in the community to
want to be leadeisT said Santarossa. M A
big thing ATHENA believes in and is a
really important thing to me, is to keep
those leaders in the community 1

Santarossa said she lias a vision for
Windsor as a very vibrant and thriving
community but Windsor has to be able
to keep the leaders in die dty to be able
to see thatvision come true. She said this
is one of her platforms because there is
so much good done in Windsor but
these people who do good are leaving
so she wants to figure out a way to keep

she bdieves are reasons she was hon¬

ored with the award, such as working
with the Heart and Stoke Foundation of
Canada, the YMCA* Windsor Endow¬
ment for the Arts and Kids Sport, but
the one she is most proud of is a project
she has been working on since the ap»
plication in partnership with Motivate
Canada to provide activities for women
in the community

"Weve reached over 200 women
through our events over the summer
amd we are now planning a leadership
conference to be hosted in February of
2016T said Santarossa “Myself and the
other recipients are constantly woridng
on ammunity initiatives and building
leadership in the community

Santarossa said the biggest thing in¬
volved in the award, and for a better
future for individuals and the dty, is a
sense of community.

"When I started my speech at the lun¬
cheon I said I was proud to be a Wind-
sorite and I really do mean that, 71 said
Santarossa. “A lot of young people leave
Windsor because of lack or work or
other reasons but 1 think iffc important
people stay in Windsor and create their
own opportunities because not only is
it good for the community but ids good
for the individual 1 ’

Santarossa said the goddess Athena is

the goddess of wisdom and that is one
of the thin^ she likes to think they have
in common,

“I think the feet she is the goddess of all
these mufo-disdplinary things is why
I fed I can relate to her so muchT said
Santarossa. *1 do really fcdteve in aca-
demies but Tin also very into bdi^ cre¬
ative and art and sports I think having
a multifaceted look on things was the

biggest thing I see in her and in meT

Santarossa said she wants people to
know to never give up She said she had
applied for the award before and didn't
receive it but she gpt it the second time
so she said & important to pursue die
things you want.

"Dorit let your failure be the defining
moment Grow from ydur failuresT said
Santarossa. “Also, think outside the bm

and be creative. Lastly be brave andkeep
what you're doing in yourcommunityT

Santarossa said the biggest thing is to
inspire the next generation and its very
important because they are the smartest
but the most vulnerable with technolo¬
gy-

l *Be who you are and not like someone

be motivated to make a difference.”

ference manager at the University of

people from the ages of 3S-6G but any¬
one is welcome to come and support
and there are always volunteer and work
opportunities for youth as wdL”

He said there are a tot of events out there
but having a gala is a lot better than just
putting out a jar and asking for money.

a real fon way to raise money for a
cause," said Kissner 'There are a lot of
good causes out there and the Windsor
AIDS committee is just one of them I
know there are a ton of them that well
be able to help in the future as wdl"

Fve realized its the best place to be,” said
Ferriss. 4 We do our best to make a real
difference and we are a community that
accepts and reaches out to others in the
lowest of conditions,”

Ferriss said she has an education but it
amounts to nothing compared to what

die has learned through the AIDS com¬
mittee.

Tfs a big surprise to us that the UniversF

CUPE 1001 Wants to

Figure it out Together

Member thinks of recent occurrences as a ‘campaign against CUPE ’

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

CUPE 1001 member Trina Durham is
saying there are lot of issues the organi¬
zation has been dealing with in fire past
10 years, especially housekeepb^,

Durham* a worker* secretary and for-
mer president of CUPE 1001* sakl there
has been a "campaign a^inst CUPE”

T know we have some bad apples, ev¬
ery workplace does," 1 said Durham. “We
recognize that and were tryir^ to work
with administration to work it all out I
want to fix this and I think they’re recep¬
tive to it but 1 thinktheyte only receptive

to what they want"

Durham said there was a meeting in
August where they asked administra¬
tion if there were any more buildings be¬
ing contracted out and they didn't give
CUPE any straight answers. Two weeks
after, six more buildings were contract¬
ed out from CUPE

“ft seems like our duties are slowly being
taken awajf said Durham,

Durham also said die feels like some in¬
dividuate in administration are making
issues where there are none

Durham said they had 120 people in
fulltime housekeeping and they are now

down to 6&

"Another issue were having is people
just quitting and leaving because they
have no idea what is going on and
theyre scared," said Durhara

Durham said die thinks the system
needs to be run via a pyramid system,
where people start out in food services
and if something were to open in house¬
keeping, afcod service person oould ap-
ply and it would in turn create more jobs
in food service.

T think the ultimate gtiai of the univer¬
sity b to just get rto of us that way they
draft have to worry about us at all,” said
Durham.

John Coleman, fire schools director of
public aflaits and commurucatk>ns sakl
there were 12 positions in discussion
that were moved but there was no one
in the union who was laid off

“The collective bargaining agreement
was Mowed to the TT said Coleman.
"All the people who were affected by the
situation were redeployed within the
uniVCTsit)^

Cokman said that is the bottom line
and the important thing is no one has
lost his or her job in the process of ev¬
erything that is happening with CUPE
10QL

Coleman said the goal of the university

is to run operations efficiently and to
meet the needs of the campus commit-

t

nity,

"To fix this, I think you need both sides
wodai^tofixiC said Durham "I think
right now there is only one side working
to fix this and i6 usT

According to Durham, the open and
honest communication they prom¬
ised is a He to her and she hopes to see
things fixed and administration taking
an active part in mending the broken
ndationship between the university and

Cantertxny College is no stranger to
gala events* whkh arc a vital part of their
annual itinerary, but this year they've de¬
cided to shake thing? up a little by' add¬
ing in some friendly competitioa

“We iK>rmaJly do something a little
more traditional^ said residence and
program assistant Laura Bezaiie. 'This
year we wanted to tty a change of pace
that reflected more of Canterbury's per¬
sonality in the comniimity atnx>sphere' ]

In an attempt to further the alleges
name within the community Canter¬
bury hosted their first ever Trivi^k at
the WalkerviUe Brewery Oct 27. Tickets
were sold quickly, sedng more than 100
people pairing a night of dinner with a
few rounds of trivia. While the college
is in dose proximity to the University of
Windsor, not many know of the college
services, which range from its Angtkan
chaplaincy to its accommodations to¬
wards UWindsor students. Beyond the
entertainment value, members of the
oofl^e hope to use trivia as a way to ap¬
peal to thebroad community spectrum.

"Canterbury has been here for a very
longtime, but not a lot of people know
what Canterbury does, so an event like
this makes it dearer as to the contribu¬
tion it carries;' said administrative assis¬
tant Jaddyn Bezaire.

Eighteen teams of eight participated in
the brim Be it inadvertently or other¬
wise, the event also shined a light on a
growing trivia scene within the com¬
munity Under the moniker Mack Flash
Trivia, events have been popping up
from Windsors downtown core to as
tar as Amherstburg, tending to numer¬
ous locations, whkh almost cover the
entire week

"When I first started, I used to get 20 to
30 people a wed: and I was very proud
of mysdt and now we averse maybe
five shows a week,” said trivia host Fran¬
cois Jacques,

Jacques has trivia questions structured
in a way where every member witlirn
a team can be poised to contribute in
thdr own way As trivia questions can
range from mathematics to pop culture,
it not only paves the way for teamwork,
but also creates a direct and highly soda!
atmosphere for those participating.

"Theres nights where I notice that its
better to just let file room be, and all 1 do
is ask questions and guide the game, and
my banter will be lower because ft drives
people to talk,” Jacques said Tfe almost
like Em making topics for them to talk
about at the tabled

On top of all the ftm and j^mes, the
event also carried a silent auction for a
variety of prizes from hockey tickets to
paintings. Plans for additional events are
currently in the works which will place
them more in the spotlight, all while
maintaining the core traditions of the

"Were binging in a different segment of
the population to our more traditional
kinds,” said Canterbury principal Gor¬
don Drake. "Were just pleased that its
worked so weU, and it speaks 1 think for
the future of Canterbury College”

University Holds Workshop to Show
Advantages of Online Pro gram

come in front of the program and show professors to hold office hours online

The Office of Open Learning for the
University of Windsor held a workshop
to promote Blackboard Collaborate -
virtual classrooms for when people just
cant make it

The program offers the ability to live
stream and record classes as well as
many other applications including on¬
line interactive blackboards, discussion
groups and project groups students can
access and professors can oversee and
controL The program also allows for in¬
teraction between peopfe streaming and
the live classroom and will open up a
new possibility for students during trav¬
el and even when professors are away

The workshop was set up to try and grt
more professors and students involved
with it and spread it across campus ac¬
cording to teaming specialist and work¬
shop ax)rdinator Mark Lubnck

We really want to get the people who

them how useful the tool i$T said Lu-
hricte "This is a great asset for both stu¬
dents and instructors and were hoping
more people start usix^ it for the benefit
ofboth parties,”

Ijubricksaid the biggest thing is students
can access the recordings onedures,not
just the streams. He said it will be good
especially for students out in the county
who have one lecture and don't want to
have to drive in all the time or when rfs
bad weather and its dangerous for them
to come out to the University from such
a distance,

Its interactiveT said Nkk Backer, di¬
rector of file Office of Open Learning,
"Students can raise thdr hands, ask
questions and be involved wiffi the
lecture from home with this program
so the argument that it will encourage
students to be lazy is very ineffective as
science has showed otherwise and this
interaction wiU enhance teaming”

Blackboard Collaborate wiE abo allow

and meet with students more easily to
the program

“Its available to everyone and ifs a very
sample program to use,” said Baker,
“We’re making it as easy as possible to
access through these workshops and
were hoping to see more use this be¬
cause it costs nothing and ft will only
benefit The program is very easy and
if you can point and dick then you can
use it”

Baker also said the program is platform
friendly and works across aB mediums
including phones, tablets and comput¬
ers,

to be witiihdd fern the students - even
non-university persons looking for hdp
in the community through some of
thdr workshops and events opentothe

to tell Freeds history in business and to

used to get where he is in life.

freed talked about the business chal¬
lenges and struggles through certain
times such as Sept 11, 2001 and the
2008 recession He said they met than
head on and were able to come out on

and m»dds.

“At freeds... we saw the happy times,
we saw the challenges and tough times,”
said Freed “We went through the per¬
fect storm In today's worid of Amazon

still survive. Wfe not only survived we
actually thrived™

Freed offered a five-step utitstive for
otherpeople who wish to be as success-
ful and happy in life as he claims he is*

Step one was be positive and Freed said
the things which taught him how to
stay positive were reading books, three

Colas anti’s Presents the
Biggest Scare in County

CALIRWORKMAN

Colasantis Tropical Gardens is a kind'
mark in southwestern Ontario and its
halted house is a huge part of that

The 10,000 square foot indoor haunt¬
ed greenhouse is one of two main at*
tractions put on during the Halloween
season and provides the weekly average
of two bodily fluid incidents a week
according to event coordinator Ashley
Colasanh-Furtado.

<t Weve doubled in size for our indoor
haunted greenhouse and we provide a
lot of opportunities for students in the
area,” said Coksanti-Furtada ‘We have
acting Jobs available and we always get
great response from the community
especially tiriis yeai; saying were the best
the area has to affix”

ColasantbFurtado said in previous
years they have worked finkaHy with
the University and College but this year
they are keeping it local and a dollar
from every ticket sale goes towards the
Cardinal Carter Catholic High School
and Leamington District Secondary

‘"'Hie first rule of the event is no toudi-
ing - you don't touch us and we won't
touch youT said Colasanti-Furtada f We
have strobe lights, live aetais, lasers, fog
machines and props going off every sec¬
ond If$ a very high budget production
and we hold pride in itT

The haunted greenhouse has 40 actors
in it and there are no breaks in the jump
scares for the 30-minutes it takes to walk
tiirough

With very talented young actors, the
pitch daik and loud saws* screams and
weapons of torture, even the bravest of
souls is bound to break Some of the
props included a table saw with a person
bang cut down the middle* a screaming
zombie-like man that will get everyone
walking through and an actor amongst
agroup of poppir^ heads that will throw
you off after being tricked into thinking
afl the heads are mechanical

Those only being two minuted worth
cf the 30 minute average walkthrough
promises for a unique experience Co
lasantik also charges and updates things
every year so next year will be no famil¬
iar sight

from the University of Windsor and
manager of the greenhouse haunt and
acting coach and director said the goal
every <±ay is to make someone either
urinate or throw up their dinner

*1 really like searing peopteT said Tre-
chak “You stand in there in the middle
of the night you’re in a tight hallway
where no one can see you and you just
hear the screams and you know you did
a good job Its wonderful”

He said his guilty pleasure is to sit at
the end of the tech hallway behind the
scenes and mock people as they go
through.

“Were 10*000 teet of soul<rushing ter-

The university^ own cyding association
received some distinction through an
annual report

The Coundi of Ontario Universities
recently disdosed their going green
report, which places a spotlight on the
Univeraty of Windsors efforts in be¬
coming a friendlier place for cyclists.
While the cyding association has
been around for a little over two years,
the members have wasted little time
in making significant strides to serve
cydists in and around campus,

Tt was a good feeling to be included
in foe report? said Kris Owen, who
currently heads the cyding association.
This is the first time weVe been high¬
lighted”

The University of Windsors Cyding
Association was officially formed in
September of 2013. Through com¬
munity engagem ent and scheduled
sessions, the UWCA aims to educate
those on bike safety tips from wearing
the proper safety gear to learning the
rules of the mad. The UWCA was also
responsible in having Fhtit stations add¬
ed to foruuglKHrteamp^
cydists to make minor repairs on their
bte at a ntomenfe notice,

Owen said the organization has shrunk
in see due to several members hav¬
ing graduated since its formation, but
tiuough word of mouth and dub days,
the association looks to grow and con¬
tinue in educating people on proper
biking procedures.

Theres a lot of different rules that wed

like people to know? Owen said "Be¬
cause weve heard ot people getting in
accidents, and we really want to change
that"

One of three Fixit stations is located outside the university's engineering building. The University of Windsor's Cycling Association played a hand

in getting these stations set itp, aiding cyclists in performing minor bike repairs.

This year's Boo at the U found itself in

over 10 years and counting many of the

One aspect which made tliis yeaii
event different from ones prior, is foe in¬
creased presence of student volunteers.
Ova* 20 volunteers participated in the
event, from applying fece paint on chil¬
dren to bdp set up the numerous games
scattered across foe room. Since previ¬
ous years were usually dependant on

Artspeak Gallery Adorned
With Colorful Iconographies

ROHANKHANNA

The Lance Contributor

A local jplfery had die opportunity to
showcase a number of paintings, sculp¬
tures and handicrafts last week

Rashmi Dadwal has previously dis¬
played pieces around Windsor in librar¬
ies, hospitals, community centers and
markets and recently brought her ex¬
hibit to the Artspeak Gallery. Having no
training in the field of visual arts, Dadw-
aFs art emphasizes on the notion that ev¬
eryone has a talent it just happens that
she pruned it herself rather nurturing it
unda- someones guidance.

Most of her paintings include religious
konographtes ofChrisL Mother Mary
the Hindu God Lord Ganesha and so
on.

"1 am not an teonographer nor do I
know about Christianity, but
comes when the time comes wiim you
start doing it and automatically God
hdped me to do r £' said Dadwal

g}ass images of Christ with vivid color
patterns we see in churches.

"The paintings and church windows
look so good and that has been a
source of inspiration in my own works!*
saidDadwaL

The artist has experimented wifo wood
paintings and now' she has ddved into
achieving her talents on canvases, For
her the people who come and look at
her wotk the viewers give meaning to
her artwork She learns about Christi¬
anity and the connotations of her work
from them

When it comes to handkxafts, Dadwal
has used discarded leftover objects to
create a story and die same can be said
reading her other works. Her entighi-
enment and bang exposed to Chris¬
tianity has led her to fuse diversity in
her work and interpret it along with her
own ndigsoa H&nduism.

Today*! find inspiration and healing
from religions, culture, and humanity
alike, and seek to tdl a positive story that
am resonate with all audkncesT said

The Working Combination

HAN I YASSIN E

Arts Editor

It was a quiet and dassy evening when
the Waikenilie Brewery played host to a
unique tasting session

it has always been natural for people to
mix wine with their cheese, but this time
around wine happened to be replaced
with craft beer on the evening of Oct
26* It was then where 16 people were
treated with numerous combinations
of craft beer courtesy of the Walkervilk
Brewery and artisanal cheese provided
by southwestern Ontarids Cheese Bar
With six combinations to present, they'
were catered in pairs and in between
timed intervals* The length in between
each serving allowed testers to not oniy
consume* but also to savor tire combos
such as the sweedy aged cheese of Black
Pepper with the malty, easy drinkabilfty
ofWaterfrontWit

i This is a Belgian wit, with orange peel

and coriander notes, and we actually
added orange peel onto the beer itself
said server and host Nicko Mammo
mas to the evening's patronsu

for several who attended this was the
first time they attended a tasting session
of craft beer and cheese. Some l ev eled In
the caring and thoughtfulness behind
each pairing as both the cheese and
beers constantly “accented each other”
ft was difficult to dilute, as the cheeses
were weB aged, textured and flavorful
with the beer reinforcing these flavors
with silky and crisp sensations* Prefer¬
ences had varied from person to person,
but the overall satisfaction remained

1 loved the Honest Lager to tell you
the truthT said attendee Archie Fratar-
cangdi Tfc was very good, seems like an
easy drinking beer and its smooth and
it went very wdl with the cheese it was

Film Review:
Goosebumps

KAR-LEIGH KELSO

The Lance Contributor

For Goosebumps fans, this movie pfob-
My sounded like a great i dea when the
first rumors of its creation started dr-
adating a little over a year ago: finally,
someone was going to give our child'
hood honor series the cinematic atten-
tke and effects it deserves.

[fyoure looking for a teen horror-com¬
edy with some good banter and decent
acting and ready tame on the creepy
scale, this movie is for yoa However; if
you're a longtime fen looking for an em¬
bodiment of the books or the re-visita¬
tion and improvement of the television
show man, you are going to be disap¬
pointed

The story follows Zadv an average tse^i-
agexandthenewfodtotowruOnmov-
ing day he meets his neighbor Hannah,
whos got a real wdrd dad—maybe

bordering on the dangerous side After
hearing what he believes to be Han-
nabfc screams a few nights later, he and
a frimd break into her house and dis¬
cover the Goosebumps manuscripts, in
the process accidentally unlocking Hie
Abominable Snowman of Pasadena
and releasing the monster into the red
world Slappy the homicidal ventrilo¬
quist dummy also manage to esc ape,
making it his mission to open every
book and release all the monsters on die
town, tfs up to Zadi* his friends, and R.
L Stine himsdf to hunt down and con¬
tain the monsters once more before they
destroy the town

From what Tve heard Stine has been
sent scripts over the years and turned

scary or too gimmidey and not the right
mixture of both, which is what he was
dying to achieve. The script he finally
decided on is the Goosebumps we now
have in theatres.

Its great that he tried, but I have to say
it is absolutely not what 1 think Goose-
bumps deserved Short of a few ap¬
pearances of some familiar characters
{and bad CGI to boot), the script does
nothing for the old novdlas or the show.
I really dorifc believe this was ever meant
to be a movie for the fens, which is a
shame, but reality.

Theatre Review - Doctor Faustus

HANIYASSINE

A ns Editor

Centuries prior to the classic pky writ¬
ten by Johann Geothe, Christopher
Mariowes Doctor Faustus is the ear¬
liest adaptation of the story of Faust
The highly successful yet unfulfilled
scholar who makes apart with the devil
is an iconic retelling, which has seeped
through numerous literary works. On
tap of it involving a deep moral dilem¬
ma of a central character who tails to
keep everything under control ife a
celebration of the macabre and ail of its
sinister delights. Its only timely for Kor¬
da Artistic Productions to put this play
on during the Halloween season, but its
also unfortunate the production Ms to
properly live up to the dassic star) 7 .

The lighting direction stays strong
throughout, and it manages to hit the
odd story beat or two. But the moment
it seldom succeeds in mustering is al¬
most muffled out entirely by the myriad
of issues it carries across the spectrum.
Perhaps the biggest, most inherent flaw
is the narrative direction. The story of
Faust has been one presented in a vari¬
ety of genres. This particular productio n
decides to oombine the tragic conflict
of Faustus with some comedy; yielding
poor results.

Scene transitions are constantly jarring,
as the comedy and drama make no ef¬
forts to compliment each other and hdp
bring the play into cohesion. It certainly

doesn't hdp when neither aspect man¬
ages to be effective. The performance
kdk any dramatic heft, coming off as
stale, The humor, on top of being mo re
awkward than funny is reliant on slap-
stick style sequences, which dorit fit into
the story whatsoever Pair this with the
pky still expecting you to take Fausiuss
dilemma seriously and you're left with a
heavily disjointed narrative which make
the pk/s episodic nature more detach¬
ing than it should have been

The creative decisions to reinforce the
production are frankly bizarre In a sto¬
ry" about a man who ddves in the black
arts, dealing with demons in Hell you
get some awfidly goofy looking crea¬
ture designs which make menacing
characters look foolish. Theres also the
constant use of music samples from the
band Nine Inch Nails. At least ahandfiil
of the bands songs are teed throughout
the production, and theres realty no
word to describe how much of a jarring
set piece it comes off to be. In many"
ways, it is a bewikteringty contusing cre¬
ative decision, whkh isn't even remotely
justified

Its difficult to pinpoint where it afl falls
apart because nothing was really prop¬
erty built in the first place. The whole
affair Mt unoiganized from the start,
laitang a steady trajectory in an area
you don’t want to find yourself in The
lighting direction is the one a^>ect in
this production, whkh doesn't seem to
aitirety suffer, as it was responsible for

Rut it

Movie Review: Mr. Holmes

ItOHANKHANNA

The Lance Contributor

Sir Arthur Conan Dayfes iconic char¬
acter has made many appearances be¬
fore and die mythology of the detective
of 221B Street has made the character
became a quintessential image both in
literature and pop culture.

Directed by Bill Condon, wdl known
for films like 'Twilight Breaking Dawn,"
"Dreamgjrts” and so oa “Mr Holmes"
revolves around the life of the detectives
retirement years when he is old and his
memory is failing him The film is an
emotkml drama that tries to encap¬
sulate the struggles Sheriock Holmes
is going through as he tries to recall his
final case which lead to his retirement,
afl the while battling loss of memory
Sir Ian Mckdlea die veteran actor slips
under the skin of Sheriock Holmes and
provides a perspective you haven't seen
before in the characters many incarna¬
tions. Special mention needs to be given
to the supporting cast, namely Laura
linney as the housekeeper Mrs, Mon¬
ro and her son Roger* played by Milo
Parker. As a child artl£, Milo Parker as
young Roger could be considered as
what Holmes could have been when he
was his age because of his determined
inquisitiveness.

The year is 1947 and Sherkxk Holmes
after a long trip fern Japan arrives at a
farmhouse to live the remainder days
of his life as a reduse, Mrs, Munra and
her son Roger live in the secluded farm¬
house to take care of Holmes Arriving
with a plant called prickly ash, which
could hdp him in improving his mem¬
ory, Sheriock wants to write the details
of his last case the way it actually hap¬
pened and not as a dramatized version
of his friend Dr, Watson. Tliroughout
die film you see a number of flashbacks
that delve into Holmess last case and his
journey’ to Japan, During his stay at the
fannhouse, Sheriock takes a special lik¬
ing towards Roger because of the young
boy s capability in observing the finer
details of things around him and his
persistent curiosity.

Sheriodk Holmes throughout his dif¬
ferent renditions, be it through films or
novels, has been known for possessing
the art of deduction and his ideology of
giving importance to feet over fiction as
a result of which he exhibits no emotion
and is calculative at best. Mr Holmes

who has been solving cases all his life
with the intention of being deprived of
the most common of emotions* love.
Sir Ian Mckdten ^ves a flawless per¬
formance yet ag^in and you fed for his
loneliness and his desire to remember
his last case. This time around* his ene¬
my is his decaying health and die man
istiyir^hisbesttokeepupwiditheleg-
end created by his best friend

The flashbacks act as passages of time
running paralld to each other and help
give an insight to Holiness own psydie.
Bill Condon uses these tools to flesh out
the diaracter of Sherlock and they are
integrated cohesively in the narration.
The paring of the film overall is stow;
but it is intentional for a good reason.
The lack of mystery may sound as an
Addfles 1 heel for die film, but It is more
about Sheriock Holmes than about the
cases themsdves

Mr Holmes is another brilliant perfor¬
mance by Sir Ian Mckeflen and another
feather in Shertod& hat ft is an evolu¬
tion of the famous detective* a journey
to contemplate life by means of warmth
and heart and not just mind alone

BitETTH EDGES

Sports Editor

The Windsor AKO Fratmen finished
off an undefeated season Id remain on
top of the Ontario Football Conference
once again.

It was a different season but it is always
the same goal for head coach Mike
LaChace and his group of athletes. This
time the Fratmen had to hattk the Ot¬
tawa Sooners in order to win their third
consecutive OFC championship,

Windsor led the hard-hitting games by
a 14-7 seem at halftime and eventually
earned a 21-11 victory on their new
home playing field at the French Cath¬
olic high school BJ. Lafeunesse Nov L
With the result, the Teddy Morris Me¬
morial Trophy stays in Windsor for at
least another season,

“They all fed good but tiiis one is spe¬
cial” LaChance said “We lost a lot of
talent from last year, ro to be able to re-
bound and come out with an undefeaL
ed season feels pretty perfect When you
run the table in the regular season the
expectations are very high in the play¬
offs. We had two tight games against
London and Ottawa but its hard to beat
teams two and three times [in one sea¬
son]"

Windsors playoff victories were not as
dedsive as some of their regular season

triumphs. The OJFC semi-finals saw the
London Beefeaters come to the City of
Roses and try thar hand against the de-
fending diamps, but would come out as
the losers of a 26-16 score. The quality of
games in the pkyofis speaks to die over¬
all product the OFC has to offer.

‘The Ontario Football Conference is
great right nowf LaChance said. ‘You
have London, Ottawa, Hamilton and
us. Even when we played Burlington
late in the year, they are a pretty good
team. The GTA Grizzlies are an up-aid-
comer so there is real good talent in the
OFC”

LaChance said it was not known un¬
til moments before kick-off if the fbH
AKO roster would be available for die
championship game earlier as a hand ■
fol of LaGhancek big play makers were
big questions for the team earlier in the
week.

“We woe real barbed up, we had five
guys on offense who were game-time
decisions, we didn't think we would
have them todayf said LaChance ‘You
have a guys like lievi Nod who played
injured but probably should not have,
but he played and scored a big touch¬
down for us in the end. So that is lead¬
ership at ife finest”

ft was the final game for Fratmen de¬
fensive lineman Anthony MacDonald,
who began his OFC playing careo - with

a victory over Ottawa five years and

said it was great to go out on a high note
and it was a full aide feding to have it
end against the Sooners,

To have my last game be at home and
for the championship, it feds great,*
MacDonald saki "We knew they were
going to run the ball hard so we knew
it was going to be a physical game right
out of the gate That is what Fratmen
football is a! about and everybody"

anyone is ever going to face and that is
going to continue long after Fm gone”

MacDonald was member of the 2011
Fratmen who went undefeated during
the regular season only to lose in the
championship game to the Hamilton
Hurricanes and he reminded his team
of that loss prior to kick-off

The last game is the only one that mat¬
ters,” said MacDonald Thatk the way

season and we set up a streak for next
year too*

As a three-time OFC champion, Mac¬
Donald is hoping to stay involved with

University Holds Town Hall
to Talk About Refugees

CALEBWORKfiAN

News Editor

The University ofWindsor held a Town
Hail to discuss how thdr campus can
hdp out with the Syrian crises and what
difference they can make as humanitar¬
ians.

The goal of the Oct 27 event was to dis¬
cuss ways the university could hdp and
get inspiration from a current refugee
student on campus - Ghai Mathiang.

‘Its amazing what tittle we do here can

change a lot for other peoples fives,” said
Mathiang d Tt can be a change that will
last a life time”

Mathiang lived as a refugee before the
University' of Windsor brought him
over Mathiang has graduated from his
bachelors and is currently woddng on
Ills master^ in neuroscience

T understand that when we do some-
thing for refugees it is not as little as we
see itT said Mathiang T came here and,
at file moment, I can support my family
and they are not living the same as they

were, although they are still refugees.”

Mathiang sad there are many things the
university can do to help, the main thing
being getting four refugees to school a
year instead of the current one

There are a lot of scholars out there and
I know it is compbtfor the university to
bring them with families,” said Maih¬
iang f Tf we can bring these scholars
from Syria currenify, we will be able to
hdp them bring their families over and
also to hdp Windsor and the area they
live in over here.”

Guest speaker at the event, and former
Canadian diplomat, Mike MoUoy, said
Windsor was the initiator of bringing
in refugees with the Vietnamese and he
hopes to see a simitar process pky out
with the Syrian crises.

Teopk are in this Syrian refugee crises
for the long haul lest the archangel G&-
brid himsdf intervenes,” said MoBay
"We have to face the feet that this is a
problem and students will be hearing
about this 10 years into their careers. We
might as weB start to get org^iiaed and
helping out the individuals who need it”

MoBoy said 50 per cent of the refugees
are children and they grow up with bro¬
ken childhoods. He said the main goal
should be to bring m vulnerable fami¬
lies with children and to get fills rolling,
meetings like the Town Hall at the uni¬
versity need to start happening across
Canada.

The presentations ended and the meet¬
ing continued with ideas and discussion
of what they can do and how to move
on with the Syrian crises. The majority
response was to h4>autand talk to gov-
eminent to get fire process roflii^.

Men’s Soccer Suffers Heartbreak

to McMaster in OUA Quarters

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Windsor Lancer menksoccerteamk
spectacular season came to an end with
a 1-0 toss to the McMaster Marauders in
the OUA quarterfinals at Akimni Field

A penalty kick was awarded to MeMas-
te* * after an apparent handball inside
liie 18-yardboK. Gersi Xhuti played the
hero as he placed the ball to the oppo¬
site side of Lancers goalkeeper KyteVi-
zfrakis. ft was the final game of the OUA
careers for satior Lancers Akbal Gil
Mkhad fto, Tony Batkesfinand Derrick
Awankma.

Lancer head coach Steve Hart said itwas
a sad way to go out for a tom that bad
set their sights much further than the
OUA quarters Hart wasn't shy to voice
his displeasure with the offi dating of the
match other

"We didrit deserve to lose tonight but
ouroffida! made it all about him," said
Hart ‘"And it is not sour grapes. When
you ga beat by a team and you deserve
% you shake their hands and you walk
away ft sours a good season,”

Hart explained his frustration towards
the official was not an isolated incident

Itery coach in any spout wfU trfhyou

wouldrifc say a word but this official has
come in hoe time and time again and
just constantly does not official proper¬
ly Referees are there to make the game
flow not to make it about them. That
just spoils the game at this level When
the stakes are this high, you need proper

officials who can mate the big eaDs! 1

Hart was quick to acknowledge the
strides his program made by accom¬
plishing what they did during file 2015
OUA season

“The men and women both moved
forward from last year and as a coach, all
you can ever want is to move forward,”
said Hart “Both teams went out in the
fftst round ayearagoand now they both
went out in the second So we’re gomg
all the way nest year, fm so proud df
both programs’ 7

The first half saw the visiting Maraud¬
ers play a solid game defensively as the
Lancers only managed two shots on net
in the first 45 minutes.

on the board, but a wall of Marauders
blocked a free kick from right outside

Women-Only Boxing Classes Packs Punch for Community

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

A former Lancer track and cross county
standout is putting her best punch for¬
ward to promote fitness, setfconfidance
and ton for local women erf all demo¬
graphics

Meaghan Marten, 22, first stepped in¬
side a boxing gym to pkk up her boy¬
friend Ricardo Rodriguez, who is a
member ofBotder City Boxing dub on
Drouiltaid Ave After string on the side¬
lines, Marton said she decided to partic¬
ipate and just like that, shewas hooked

*1 used to go and just sit there and wait
for him tobe done,” Marton said “Then
I got more interested in it so 1 took a
couple dasses and I kept wanting to do
more and more at the gym because it
is non-profit ft is a realty great organi¬
zation and has such a femity-environ-
rnent, but 1 sawthe need for more thir^
to be done”

This past summer, Maiton ran four
separate womens booting dasses, which
saw increased attendance as the sessions
continued Between 20 and 30 women
of all ages came to the dasses which
prompted Marton to organize more
boxing dasses as the fall drew doser

T wanted to do ft again because we had
such agreat response?' said Marton. Tm
the chair erf Students Advancing Wom¬
en m Sports so we organized a fundrais¬
er which aligns file values of wo men in
sport and we decided to have a boxing
event ft wasn't so much about raising
the money but more about getting
women in the gym. Not a kft of wom¬
en get to box and its only five dollars
per class and we ended up raising over

$ioor

What makes these dasses so special
is the strictly female environment, so
women who wear jihads could come
and literally let thdr hair down, a rare
opportunity thought up by BCBC di¬
rector Alison Hunter, a former Canadi¬

an thampksa

"[Hunter] did dasses with women of
all demographics before and it dropped
off so I was glad to pick it up and do it
again,” Marton said "Those women
really loved ft. We had about 16 people
but they had never been to the gym be¬
fore so that is all that reaBy matters.They
all left sweating and that is my biggest
fifing, I want them to leave knowing
they had a good wotkout”

Mow instructors inckafe Hunter, Amy
Tunks (another retired professional)
and Cdia Gagnon , a Windsor police of¬
ficer Marton bdieves the accepting en¬
vironment helps those ra
embrace it and the basing community
as a whole,

"They all said theywanted to crane back
so that is huge,” Marton said *They get
to lean? the basics of boxing ^ Tm still
learning how to boat so 1 motivate a lot
and bdng an athlete, I fove that stuff"

Marton said die saw an opening for

womens only dasses when she noticed
other time slots throughout the week
were co-ed and often saw the same
group of skilled boxers in attendance
With many of her participants being
new to the sport, Marton found ft ap¬
propriate to have thdr own time slot,
which allows them to opportunity to
learn at their own pace

"I didrit want to throw these women,
who are already intimidated, into a mix
rrfdifleient skilled boxersT said Marton.
“So we're reaBy trying to get weekly or
biweekly womens dasses as a perma¬
nent fixture at the gyra*

With Border City being a toIuh-
teer-based organization, Marton admit¬
ted it can be difficult to schedule these
dasses but it is not for a lade of enthusi¬
asm among those who participate

"Were only open when someone has a
key or if someone goes into the gym^
said Marton. "But we’re getting really
good feedback, all of the women ask
me when we wiD have our next dass or

when we can do ft a^ta Even people
who miss dasses have checked in to see
when the next will be”

The dasses also give participants an in-
creased education in fitness. As a former
crosscountry and long-distance runner,
Marton knows her way around a gym
but said turning to boxing really in¬
creased her level erf fitness. Marton also
said she would like to see an increase of
UWmdsor female students to take file
time and try something new.

"Boxing is so mud? different than any
other physical activity* said Marton.
'Were teaching these women new
thing and we're teaching you why it is
important When Amy teaches besting
Or when Alison teaches how to punch,
you’re learning footwork as wdL Were
not expecting you to get in the ring but
we know youE have fun*

road trip to Kingston. First, a 7-3 deci¬
sion, which saw goaltender Mike Doan
make 30 saves and a 6-2 victory the next
evening with Blake Richard making 31

""Whenever you can win two games on

it was important to our group” Ham¬

Overall Windsor had five runners earn

tus and Lancers cross country head
coach Gary Malloy was proud of the
way his runners battled

'The men are disappointed they didn't
win but are happy that they came
through with sudi good performances,”
Malloy said “Paul was in a real battle
and its a great comeback story for him
after suffering various injuries. For him
to finish off his last year wfth a silver
medal is great”

Corey Bdlemore placed seventh overall

with a time of 31.01.4 and joined Jan¬
kowski as a first team all-star Tlfird-
year Joseph Kagnmba rounded out the
individual accdades for Windsor when
he was named a second team all-star

ers scorers included Jordan Cdttison in

Master in seventh with a time of 3139. L

The men were Kill value in their race,
we didn't expect to be one point away
from thegold medal" Malloy. “The guys
ran real tough and it was a nail-biter afl
the way through It could have gone ei¬
ther way There are so many combina¬
tions and pemiutations with one point
going one way or the other it can drive

Overall the Lancer women finished

eighth overall in the team competition
despite missing one of their top five run¬
ners. Smith claimed the OUA bronze

my coaches and teammates cheering
and they gave me the final little push I
needed It was really dose going into the

the girl from Gudph and I finished
third My goal was to make top seven
so I definitely did better than l expected”

Alik Parks, a transfer from the Univer¬

about the full team yet but Stefanie and
ABie will definitely be competing!'

Lancer Volleyball Teams Fall
To Gryphons On Halloween

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

Both Lancer volleyball teams suffered
identical straight-set fosses on the road
at the hands of the Gudph Gryphons
this past weekend

The Lancer women tried to continue
their strong play from a week prior
against the Brock Badgers but started
the match sfowfy once again and ulti¬
mately fell 3-0 to the hosts with scons
of 16-25, 20-25 and 21-25. The mens
squad is still looking to win their first
match of the season after dropping
three tightly contested sets against the
Gryphons, with scores of 22-25, 20-25
and 22-25.

Lancer meres head coach James Gravdle
said his young squad tooka lot of posi¬
tives from the match against a division
opponent

“We had seme chances but wefye had
trouble stewing people so thaft been
a big thing,” Gravdle said “We weren't
able to block very effectively so we have
to operate at a very h^h efflekneyoflfen-
sivdy to make up fix it Thai is asking a
kit of our passing and settii^ to get the

attackers intoa spot where they can hit it
atahi^pereentage!"

Gravdle said the stellar play of middle
Josh Edwards was just the banning of
what he expects to see from the fifth year
and predicted another big gime from
him this weekend when the Western
Mustang come to town for the Wind¬
sor mens home-opener match Nov. 13.

“Josh was absolutely dominant against
GudphT Gravdle said Ifs nice to have
Josh back for his fifth season after many
years away Be was hitting baits as if he
were still in warm-ups, in the match he
was pretty fon to watch but we wasted
that effort We need to keep getting bet¬
ter a Me bit everyday because we are
young and bolting to improve so we
make sure we are moving in the right
direction.”

After beginning the season with three
away games at York, Nipissing and
Gudph, Gravdfe agreed it would be
good for the team to get experience
playing on their home court at the St
Denis Centre.

“Were looking forward to the
home-opener because it is a chance for
us to play in front of more family friends

and students as wdT Gravdle said
“We will definitely be looking to take
advantage of the home court Starting
with three games on the road has been
tough for us and we’ve had some hard
luck. Weve had chance and have been
leading qufte a few of these sets and hav¬
en't been able to put them away so we're
hoping having a home game will help
us out”

Even though the Lancers have begun
the season 0-3, Gravdk historically has
coached teams whose skills build up
throughout the seasoa

“Weve always been a second half team,”
said Gravdk “We focus more on
skill-building in the first half knowing
that seven out of 11 teams make it to
the playoffs. So, tf we can get ourselves
into the dance, we are hoping we can be
poking at that time. We want our abili¬
ty to lx that We arerit deficient in our
skills; we just need to improve on them
every day. Were just not as sharp six-on-
sk as we wiEbeialer this sea^
fi%fcy the end of the season we will be a
much better team than we are nowT

First serve against the Mustang Nov 6
is scheduled for 7 ptm.

Womeris volleyball head coach Lucas
Hodgson said another slow start to a
match resulted in early deflate Windsor
could not come back from

“We were down 7-1 in the opening set
and we've done that in every matdi so
fori' Hodgson said. “We dorit seem to
be mentally into the match until were
down a couple of points and that is
something we have been talking about
as a team. With how young we are... we
are going to be bad some days and better
some others. We didn't play horrible; the
state showed we were pretty even aa^
the board except for hitting percentage.
We just gave away too many points,”

Hodgson was hoping the team would
build off of their victory against Brock
in thdr home opener Oct 25 but were
unsucces^uL

Thing into Guelph we fek pretty good
knowing that we defeated Brock pretty
handilyi* said Hodgson. “We watched
Western beat Gudph quite easily the
nigjht before so we thought we were
sitting good because they were coming
in on a high and they were on a low.
Unfortunately our players didrft follow
the game pbn which we set forth and

Gudph took full advantage of that and
tookittousT

And it is those small areas of differenc¬
es that are affecting the Lancers most,
Hodgson said

T spoke with Gudphfc head coach after
the match and he said 'if you guys got
out of your own way you are going to be
damn good’* said Hodgsoa “And that is
exactly it ff we eliminate our own errors
instead of being worried about making
a mistake and just trying to hdp the
think we will be in good shape: ’

The women now travd to Ottawa next
weekend for a battle with the Gee-Gees,
who are always near the top of the OUA
volleyball standings.

“Ks going to be tough against Otta¬
wa. They have been a top team in the
OUA for a number of years and they
are always in the mix to grt a berth at
the OS championshipsr Hodgson said
"They are always wdl prepared, they are
weH-coadied and if we make the same
mistakes we made against Gudph they
will put it bade to us pretty hard But if
we can dean up some things, we should

punched the ball away

Fifteen minutes into the second half

two 15 minute overtime periods. The
Lancers would only need nine of the
30 minutes to score the j^me winner.
A breakaway pass from Lacey Mar-

Right on cue the Lancer defense and

The Windsor Spitfires finished the
month of October with a 9-2-3 reconi
while playing !4gamesin3i days.

Head coach Rocky Thompson and
the Spits rounded up the month by re¬
cording four out of six points, playing
three games in a two-and-one-half day
span against the Flint Firebirds, London
Knights and Guelph Storm

Garrett Hudson shut out the Hint
Firebirds in his first game as a Spitfire
and Daniil Vertiy scored two goals in a
3-0 victory at the WFCU Centre Oct
29. Windsor went on the road to Lon¬
don and Budweiser Gardens bit came
home on the wrong side of a 3-3 final
Oct 30.

The Spitfires hadlitik time to regroup as

the WFCU Centre hosted a Halloween

matinee game die next afternoon wSha
1 pm start Windsor showed no signs
of rust and took a 2-0 lead in the open¬
ing period with goals fora Christian
Fischer and Andrew Rums on their way
to a.5-1 route.

Tm just very happy with our per¬
formance and our effort hereT said
Thompson, "This weekend was a hard
weekend for us. We needed that first
game against Hint and we got it We
knew it was goingto be hard in London,
they were ready We were able to make
it dose in that one and against Guelph,
in our teams opinion it is a must-win
pme. We needed to dome out of here
with a victory and Guelph was rested
this week."

The Storm were looking to hak a sev¬
en-game losing skid when they visited
Windsor on Halloween. Where they
went looking for treats* they only found
tricks in the form of daunting Spitfire
defencemen and relentless forwards.

Coming in against Gudph, centre Lo¬
gan Brown was almost certainly the
most rested of Windsors skaters, as he
was coming back from a five-game sus¬
pension he received by the league for a
major interference penalty

"Coming back I had a lot of energy
Brown “During the timeoft Rocky and
[Trevor] Letowski were on the ice with
me evtsyday to keep my kgs under me
and get in better shape: Comk^ in I just
wanted to hdp the guys out early and I
knew Rocky was going to use me a lot

so 1 was lucky to get back out there with
Fischer and [Brad] Latour We picked
up right where we left off*

The reunited line only needed the
opening 35 seconds to light the lamp
and Brown finished with one goal and
two assists. Combined the trio had eight
points and were a plus right rating.

“I think our start was the most inport-
ant thingT said Thompson* ‘"We had to
come out and really set the pace in the
first period because we knew our ener¬
gy levels would get lower as the g^me
wore on and we were able to score some
big goals and we probably could have
had more We were able to grind away
in the second, we didrit play a great peri-
od but Garrett Hughson played welL He
was abk to calm things down and then
we came out in the third and we were
abk to cement the win from there! 5

as the third period winded down, which
helped the Spitfires ease the tension and
allowed Thompson to use some players
for more minutes and allow hisiattgued
players to rest

"Our guys are just like this, they never
quiC Thompson said “They always
try and come back* they always try and
press. We dorit protect leads in the third
period we want to continue to build on
them and I love that about our team w
Once that game is done, its done. We
came bad home and our guys were

battling”

The win over Guelph pushed Wind-
sort overall record to 10-3-3 as of Nov.
L During the 2014-15 regular season,
Windsor didrit record their 10th win
until Deed

“Were happy that we are doing so well
right now and were just looking to keep
it going," Brown said "Rocky’ doesn’t
want to praise its too mud. He doesn’t
want us to fove ourselves too much so
wrire just harping on everything and he
wants toperfect every detail in our game
before we will really be satisfied"

The^itfireshit the road for three games
this week, beginning with the Niagara

Thousands of blue and pink flags were set up in the residence quad Oct. 21 which signified the amount of child deaths each year as a result of

performed abortions. The display sparked protest by numerous pro-choice advocates .

As a member oflifeChoice I would like
to respond to the lances article about
our flag display

Now, like the lances article said our
groupwas setting up dags as a memorial
for the appiummaidy IjOOjOOO prebam
children killed by abortions every year
in C janada* and to raise awareness about

to this, people called us land-choice*

had abortions, and eventually we were
requested !o leave the location that had
been assigned to us by * 1 the Dean, before
we even managed to put all the flags up.

misleading. We do not oppose choice
generally speaking as I am sure every¬
one is really aware 1 for one am quite
in favor of everyone at file mh«3y
choosing whit classes they wish to lake,
who they want to have as friends, what
they want to eat and so on and so forth.

in favor of that particular choice Why

Film Review: Minions

An adventure worth its weight in “bananas. ”

few But all these famous masters meeta
tragic end because of the unintentional

ROHANKHANNA

The Lance Contributor

Minions, a prequd to tire “Despicable
Me” franchise IbSows the adventures of
the cute yellow creatures who happen
to love bananas. You will notice the ab¬
sence of their evil master* Gru and his
adopted daughters as this film focuses
on the origins of the creatures. Directed
by Kyle Baida and Pierre Coffin, this an¬
imated ffidc much like the "Despicable
Me” movies is worth watching because
the charisma and mishaps the creatures
gd caught up in is adorably chaotic.

Before the existence of Gru, the minions
Irave been known to serve evil masters
like a T-Rex in prehistoric times, Drae-
ula and Napoleon Bonaparte, to name a

calamities created by the mixtions. Now
they are left wilhout a master and the
creatures, in order to cope with their
depression, move to the colder confines
of Antarctica Stuart, Bob and Kevin are
chosen by their tribe to seek another evil
master in order to get thdr lives back on
track

The trio sets out on a perilous journey
and you get to see a lot of unprecedented
situations our yellow minions indulge in
along the way Since the minions usu¬
ally" talk in gibberish, slapstick humor
is heavily relied upon, which works for
the most part After a tot of tribulations,
the trio ends up in villain con, an equiv ¬
alent of comic con, where super villains

gather. Ending up with a villain named
Scarlet (voiced by Sandra Bullock), they
arrive in London where they are given
orders to steal the crown of Queen Eliz¬
abeth II

Knowing the past exploits of the cute
creatures, things obviously don't go ac¬
cording to plan and before you know
it, the trio lands into trouble When it
comes to charm. Scarier cannot compete
with Gru. She seems like a one-dimen¬
sional character, devoid of any depth.
She screams and whines and lacks the
mediodical approach of Gru You co uld
say; she is completely tbigettable as a
character. But like the title of the movie
suggests, this is a tale about the minions
themselves and the rest of the characters
that they come across are just there for

die sake of it This is something, whkb
could have been given more attention
to, because in a movie that solely has
the minions in it needs a layer of texture
that could only be achieved with much
colorful side characters. What worked
for the “Despicable Me” movies was
the relationship between Gru and foe
daughters and since the minions served
as sidekicks in those films, thdr charac¬
terization was balanced out with that of
Gru

Since here they piay a primary role, the
shorteomiiigs are prominent at best In

ability to dislike the film, because at the
center of it all lays true heart Of course
there is a Me surprise after aO the ca¬
tastrophes Stuart, Bob and Kevin go
through* but without blurting out any
spoilers, thafs a story for another day

“Minions” as a prequd might not serve
die greatness on a neatly laid out plate
like its predecessors, but it sure has the
capacity to encapsulate the younger au¬
dience in its an hour and a half runtime
There are moments where you will go
bananas, but those bananas are Hdly ripe
and edible enough to be appreciated for

The South Essex Community Council
in J.eamington has been around for 42
years serving out all their coats almost
every year for nearly 25 years accord¬
ing to Stephen Card The group also
provides fow-income support services,
housing services and other community
services.

it Emy year we put a call out for coats in
eaify Goober aifofoey go out to 18 dif¬
ferent collection centers in Leamington
and Kingsville* said Thir volun¬
teers pick than up and bring than to
the deanera which is provided free of
charge and then distribute them"

Coats for Kids out of leamii^ton ool-
lected approximately 670 coats and ex¬
pects to liave 600 of them go out before
the end of the season. Gard said they
keep the extras throughout the winter
for people who may need them or for

people who move to the area un-ex-
pecting of the weather.

According to Gard, there were more
than 100 people lined up outside before
they opened and five hours into thdr

RISE OFTHE

XSOX ONE. XBOX 360

l^ara Croft can’t catch a break

In the 2013 reboot she found her then
inexperienced sdf in a wildly dangerous
situation by bdr^ shipwrecked on an
isolated island with some unsavory fea¬
tures. A series of dose encounters, near
death experiences and the toss of a fe w
friends was a perilous time for her; With
‘"Rise of the Tomb Rada;’ she more or
less is in the same situation, but with a
key difference. As opposed to dealing
with an afraid version of the charac¬
ter, we find and more confidant and
controlled Croft which could serve as
an allegory for how Crystal Dynamics
handled this particular project

■"Rise* is placed one year after the everts
of its predecessor; tatong on a more
personal story than before. In order to
dear her disgraced fathers name, Lara
heads to the Siberian wilderness in
hopes to find whafa known as The Lost
Qty, which is said to hold the secret of

immortality As a result she becomes
in deadly' competition with the andent
and mysterious Order of Trinity, who
hope to use the secret for unknown, but
presumably evil reasons.

The plot points notwithstanding, !.ara
is driven to do this almost for hersdf.
By chipping away into finding out just
what kind of person shes become, she
tougjtt through an adventure in a harsh
Siberian landscape, coming out the end
as somebody reborn. The narrative rea¬
sonably balances between present-day
Lara and moments of her past, piedi^
them together in hopes to niake a defin¬
itive version of the iconk character. With
tlie twists and toms made throughout,
paired with die game playk design, the
development feels earned

From a persona} standpoint, what was
the biggest detraction from the reboot
was its dnematkaBy charged direction.
While its understandable some games
have a particular style; its problematic
when you cant tdl. where the scripted
moments end and player inpift begins.
Fortunately 'Rise* almost entirely nul¬
lifies this issue The first hour, which
largely serves a tutorial, greatly retreads
the steps of the original game. But once
you’re familiarized with the mechanics
and the story does its table setting, the
game opens up to where player agency
becomes its key componenL

Environments remain open and secrets
stay aplenty as you progress through the
game in numerousways. It sticks dose to

the blueprint of the reboot, where there
are numerous collectables and a variety
of optional tombs to explore within a
series of expansive, but contained hubs.
On top of a few new additions, each of
these aspects is better fleshed out in this
game. With survival bang a prevalent
etemenf this time around, theres a more
refined foundation far hunting and col¬
lecting resources. Hunting in particular
plays a prominent role as animals are
more dangerous and hide materials are
a more essential resource, A fair amount
of time will be diverted to these aspects
as they allow for on the fly crafting of
makeshift explosives and methodical
approaches such as weapon and general
inventory upgrades.

One of the newer game play features
is the ally system, where you encoun¬
ter some of the natives of the land who
could use some of Laras services. The
series of missions can range from de¬
stroying radio communications to de¬
stroying surveillance drones. Some of
these missions admittedly carry a me-
nial fed to them. But what hdps miti¬

#PrayRrParis and #PmyFcs*IbeWcdd

Growing up in a Christian household,
going to a Christian church tor all of
my life I learned early of what prayer
meant to this group and who you an*
praying to The practice Fve maintained
throughout my life but my conceptual
knowledge of the act has broadened
quite immensely.

When you’re young, you're very im¬
pressionable with most of your learning
coming from your parents or whoever
raises you. It doesn't matter if your Cau¬
casian, Asian, African, Muslim, Chris¬
tian or AihasL Ym grow up impressed
upon.

Prayer itself means many diJferent

In history, when people get together and
do something chaise is made I would
offer the idea that when people come
together and pray something changes.
No matter your cultural background
jourid^gfonoryourreascH^
make a difference

Prayer causes calls to action ft always
has.

I’m not talking about changing your
Faoebook prolife picture to have a nice
flag filler in front of it Vm talking about
going out and sending money to a fam¬
ily in need fm talking about bringing
families and helping them out in our
blessed country; Vm talking about actu¬
ally doing something.

Unfortunately; some would say a lot of
the time very few people actually do
things Id help, especially when it comes
to financial aid But I like to think that
the prayer of anyone has a push, an igni¬
tion to get some people to start

Not everyone can do something all the
time but someone can move someone

..some people pray as an outreach or
an act of hope and best wishes.

I really like die word hope in relation to

prayer. Mo matter who or what vou are pravmg ta
you’re hoping they are listening and you’re hoping
its going to change something.

things to many different people. From
praying to a higher being, a dead per¬
son, nature itself or maybe just praying
to pray - these things vary.

As a Christian, I was taugjtf that you
pray to God, or the Trinity, and they
hear your prayers and answer acoxd-
ii^|Jy My best friend told me, and I agree
with this as wed that some people pray

I really like the word hope in relation
to prayer No matter who or what )W
are praying to yodre hoping they are
listening and you're hoping & gome

to change something. This lakes away
from the kfea of what you're praying to
and opens it up to the idea that you're
just praying.

to do something anytime Thais the
beautifril thing about prayer. Enough
people united can make a difference

The only thing I would like to see
changed is when people pray. Start
praying all the time, not just when di¬
saster strikes. Fray for you r family; your
friends, the poor, the side, a stranger and
your enemy.

Pray for the litife diing^weflastbebig

ent charities present, it allowed them to
draw in more student volunteers to akl
towards their outreach and support ef¬
fort aU while giving studenLs the ability
to build upon thdr portfolio.

“Its a great partnership,'* said Sandra
Rkao-Mugjia, the UWSAfc director
of student events and progratnming.
"I know a lot of my networking has al¬
ways started with charities, aixl on the
ffip side of bang in business I know I
look al that as an empfoyer, to see how

i£» ii^

community or how much passkm they
haveT

Among the charities present were Cys¬
tic Fibrosis Canada, Harmony in Ac¬
tion* the Heart and Stroke Foundation
and die AIDS Committee of Windsor*
to name a few. Versatility was the rea¬
soning behind the charities chosen, as

it looks to pruvkk a broad scope of or¬
ganizations. But while charities are also
seeking volunteers, they re also looking
to promote and raise awareness within
thdr respective areas

\3bvkmsly we do know students are
engaging in sex and maybe in drug use,”
said Kimberly Icmfpod, a communi¬
ty ottfreach coordinator for the AIDS
Omimittee ofWindsat '"We want them
to engage m a safe way. Were not about
judging people for thdr bdwiouis that
they re engaging in* but mote about
people being informed about the ded-
aons they make.’’

Laura Golden is a fourth year social
work student who serves at the AIDS
Committee as part of her placement
On top of being more knowledgeable
in regards to the disease, she finds the
oqpertence of engaging within the com-
munity to be rewarding.

“It helped me a lot in gaining the pro-

testttonatisni, and increasing my social
work skills**' Golden said

The event ran from 10 am to 3 pm
Whik its uncommon for many char¬
ities to come together under the same
roof and for the same reasons, the con¬
sensus seems to be if they get Just one
volunteer within the timeframe, its one
more than they had the day before

Since both of them operate differently

The biggest problem that seems un¬

is required from a story that portrays it¬

obviously make a return in this movie

“The Man from UNCLE” is a film dial

but the poor charactmzation and a lack

Those who attended Assumption HaE
this past Sunday afternoon were in for a
rather unusual treat.

Featured as a collaboration with 4th

ist Joshua Peters and pianist Katherine
Dowling jxrformed a redtal within the
buildings Heritage Room Nov. 11 Fol¬
lowing the master dasswork&op in the
musk building just the day before, the

two-hour program consisted mainly of
modem Canadian composer*, as well as
two European composers who lived in
the m of the Scpviet Unka

“To me the musician is always just a
conduit for the oomposeif Dowiing
said “Youre the link between whos
hearing you and who created the work”

The duo has only been performing
together since ApriL Dowling has p^-
formed all across North America and
the United Kingdom through a variety
of ensonbfes, while Peters in particular
was tire first prize recipient of this years

fkkhardt-Gramatie, a premiere musk
competition whkh promotes the worit

rary musk. With the grand prize bdnga
cross Canada redtal tour, Peters believes
die program essentially covers most
comers

T think every composer has a unique
voice on the propanC Peters said ‘The
commas between Canadian works
and Soviet works have continuity and
contrast whkh should make for a
wefl-rounded recital”

Roughly 20 were in attendance for

the redtal which was quiet enough to
where even the tiniest of sounds were
amplified Both Peters and Dowling
demonstrated great power and control
with their performances. Thar first
piece from Canadian composer Vivian
Fung resembled a beautiful nightmare,
as the rising intensity within the piece
made for an uneasy, but compdlir^ lis-
ten This carried on even more so with
a sonata from composer Alfred Schnit¬
tke, as it featured violent notes which
were a>nteasted with king silences, con¬
tributing towards a wonderfully surreal

experience

The next stop for the duo is inThunder
Bay. Based on this tour theyVe found

members alike, whkh they hope con¬
tinues on as they get deeper within the
second half of their tour.

If the University of Windsor has any-

prove that every year it holds its annual

many spedal guests including Ward 5
councilor Ed Stdman.

ISS president, Priyanka laggi, said they
make this celebration as diverse as pos¬
sible to get as many people from all over
the world to come out for the night

"Tonight is important because it gives

we actually are here on campus. We

want them to celebrate something big¬

Guest speaker and dean of students
Clayton Smith asked the crowd for a
moment of silence in reverence of the
Paris attack that happened last week
He said he fek i& important to do this
and thatit means a lot to many even if it
means a somber moment in an upbeat
night

ISS advisor Enrique Chacon said they
haw been doing the event for the last
10 years and it is completely run by the
students,

"We have many people from different
culture performing,” said Chacon tp i& a
good time of the year to have it because
its before the exam time comes and it
gives a lot of students the opportunity to
come out and relax for a night.”

Chacon said he would like to see more
students from the area participate in in¬
ternational events because its a great op¬
portunity for the international students,

"A lot of these students come horn com¬
pletely different cultures and lifestyles!’
said Chacon. 'Having more local stu¬

to make new' blends outside their own

The colorful and diverse night brought

Theatre Review:
The Little Mermaid

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

It is an intellectual property which truly
needs no introduction. In being among
Disney's most cherished of classics*
‘The link Mermaid” has worn out
VHS tapes and discs across the con¬
tinent, entertaining past, present and
perhaps even future gmcrafions, As a
result, it has made its way onto several
different formats with Broadway being
one of them. We all know of Arid, Tri¬
ton, Ursula and Sebastian, and Windsor
Light Music Theatre makes it sparkling
dear they know of them as well

As much as I dislike personal pronouns
in reviews, it must be noted this is the
first production IVe seen from Wind¬
sor light With this in mind, it is easily
the most lavish and grandiose in all the
right ways, Time was truly a wonekrtul
atmosphere to it aD from the first mu¬

sk note to the curtain call The aquat¬
ic-based set design tied with the levd of
detail put into the costuming and light¬
ing direction made for an immediately
engaging experience. The production
effortlessly boasted these strong qual¬
ities, leading to beautifully exuberant
imagery, which was only to be further
amplified by the creative and resource¬
ful special effects.

The production moved at a brisk pace
as the orchestra masterfully command¬
ed the show. In setting the tone and
tempo, it allowed the actors on stage to
perform to the utmost of their abilities.
Amber Thibet, Kristen Slapas and
Owen 'fhomas were the wonderful
standouts as they' delved deep into the
roles of Arid Ursula and Sebastian re¬

spectively. But the entire ensemble puts
both feet forwaid as the cofleetrre effort
was nothing short of outstanding

While not without some minor techni¬
cal issues, every aspect of the production
remains in a eonsistentiy top form. The
project was a taD cider, which was ef¬
fectively met, as the production was the
act of incredible symmetry between the
musicians underneath and the actors
on stage As it stands, it is one of the best
musical performances you could ask for
in the dry, and it is a tremendous exam¬
ple to highlight Windsor Light as the
focal premier theatre company

Men’s Volleyball Earns Sweet
Taste of Victory Over RMC

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Lancer mens volleyball team has
earned their first win of the OUA regu¬
lar season with a victory over RMC this
past weekend at the St Denis Centre,

Head coach James Gravdle and his
young Lancm squad rebounded from
a four-set loss in a htgfr-enagy match
to the second-place Gads the day be¬
fore and came back with a strong effort,
sweeping the RMC Paladins in straight
sets with scores of 25-20,25-18 and 25-
18.

Ttsagood fedingT Gravdle said “I was
happy we were able to play our game
and stick to what we wanted to do and
walkawaywith the win in three sets. We
were winless before this match and were
really motivated to get a wire

In the weekends opening match against
Queens Nov, 14, the Lancers played to
thdr strength capitalized on service er¬

rors and useddfectivebioddngschemes
to continue some big runs throughout a
rather entertaining contest against one
of the OUAs top teams. Despite a vali ant
effort from Lancer rookie Brad Gyemi
who finished the match with 19 kills,
Queens height and power would prove
to be tire difference as the visitors from
Kingston )ust narrowly grabbed wins in
the first, second and fourth set by identi¬
cal 25-21 scores.

After dropping the second set the Lanc¬
ers came out with a strong defensive ef¬
fort and precision of offense to open up
the third. Windsor put up seven Araight
points with Gyemi and Shawn Ream
me at the forefront of the attack Gyemi
dominated at the net and Queenk would
provide no answer as the I.ancers won
the set in extra points 27-25.

In the fourth the Lancers struggled with
thdr serves, which allowed Queens to
get bade into the game on multiple occa¬
sions. The Gads would go on to win the
set and take the match 3-1 with scores of

21-25,21 -25,27-25 and 21-25.

The Lancers would liave little time to
rest between matches as they moved on
to the St Denis Centre the next after¬
noon to battle the Royal Military Col¬
lege Paladins Nov. 15.

**I think regardless of who we played the
day prior, we were going to come out
hungry and ready to win,” Gravdle said.
llMCisleg?tin^^they r area mudi-Un-
proved team this year with quite a bit of
talent, are really well coached and disci¬
plined”

Windsor would dominate the opening
set and use a balanced offense from start
to finish which allowed the young core
of Lancers to enjoy the taste of victory
for the first time in thdr careers.

Lancers fifth year setter Blase Wasser
said it fete good to get the teams first win
after starting the year 0-5.

“Getting the monkey off’ our backs
feds good,* Wasser said. “We have a lot
of young guys so getting thdr first win

allows them to actually know 7 what it
feds like to win a game at the University
lever

Wasser said the offense improved

back to the roster after an injury in the
opening match of the season.

"Now that Brad is back hes able to find
his rhythm and get some confidence
backj" Wasser said "Bringing him back
ismasdveforusbecausehdsastrongat-
tacker and it spreads the floor a lot more
and puts less pressure on the other guys.
So its really good hes back."

In the first set, Windsor came out swill¬
ing for the fences, racking up 11 total
kills, earning a 25-20 win. In the second,
Windsor gpt behind early but some
momentum shifting kills from Gyemi
and Resume brought the I.ancm back
to life and back in the match at the tech¬
nical timeout. Windsor continued their
strong and consistent offensive pfoy for
the remaiiKler of the game en route to
their first win of the season Resume; a

fifth year senior, finished ti>e match with

again this upcoming weekend tor a pair
of games against the Waterloo Warriors
Nov 20 and the McMaster Marauders

tor 8 pm on both nights and can be

“We want to finish the semester strong^’
Gravdle said “Weve been in every 7
match. Weve lost most sets by two to
four points and now we have Gyemi
back who makes a huge difference for
us. Hes the top offensive player on our
team and its big to have him back. We
need to keep building and win as marry'
matches as we can in the first half*

Windsor condudes the first half of thdr
regular season with a pair of matches at
home against the Toronto Vandtv Blues
and Everson Rams Nov 27 and 28.

TheUncer womerfe volleyball team ex¬
tended thdr win streak to three
with a pair ofhard-fought victories ova*
the Queerfe Gads and RMC Paladins at
the St Denis Centre this past weekend

With a two game sweep of the visaing
squads from Kingston the lady Lancers
are now 4-2 on the season and sit in sole
possession of' third place in the OUA
West division standbys.

Windsor opened the weekend with an
exciting 3-2 over the visiting Gaels with
scores of25-21,25-23,22-25,20-25 and
15-13.

Shannon Dean and Emily Mcdoskey
led the way offensively for Windsor, exe-
cuting Lancers head coach Lucas Hodg¬
sons plan to perfection, combining for
10 talk and seven blocks in the middle.

"We said we wanted to set middle in
transition all day and we counted on
them to not be able to stop us in the
middle,” Hodgson sakL Thir middles
played very wdL Our outsides played
well when they were counted on”

The Lancers came out strong playing a
solid defensive game to keep the Gaels
guessing and quickly took a 2-0 set lead.

“Defensively in the first two sets we dug
up everything they threw at usT Hodg¬
son said. “But then they' started getting
points and they started getting confi¬
dent”

A rotation error by Windsor would give
the Gads momentum and the platform
to rebound in the match, capturing the
tighfiy<ontested third and fourth sets to
fie the g^me at two sets a piece

Hodgson blamed himself for almost a! -
lowing Queens to come all theway back
and defeat his team but was happy with

their ability to battle through adversity

“We had control of the matches and
coaches made a mistake on a rotation
so I take M responsibility for the third
seC Hodgson said“That rattled all of us
for a little while and it gave them some
momentum. They got an easy point out
of it, won that set and then they played
really well in the fourth.”

In the fifth. Shannon Dean served forsix
straight points for the Lancers, bringing
diem back from an early deficit and tak¬
ing a 8-5 lead before the teams would
switch sides at the technical timeout
Dean followed up her big serves with a
pair of kills late in the set to secure the
victory for Windsor

'We came bade and decided we wanted
to wake up in the fifth,” Hodgson said
“We had control of the fifth alto being
down4-l andthar^agexxi thing forus.
It shows that we are getting thoe and
we're definitely showing some promise,”

The next day the Lancers would con¬

pushing thdr record to 4-2

"Coming bade after a big win against
Ottawa and not having a let down is
huge," Hodgson said 'We started to
struggle a bit against Queerik but were
able to turn it around and dedded being
3-3 wasn’t good enough. We dedded we
were going to take it and Fm proud of
them for that"

The Windsor women will now hit the
road next this weekend mid wifi face the
Waterloo Warriors and the McMaster
Marauders on consecutive nights with
first serve scheduled for 6 pm. Nov. 20

The Windsor Spitfires won thdr fourth
coceecutive game with an overtime tri-
urrfh ovar the Sault Sfce. Mark Grey-
hounds at the WFCU Centre this past
weekend.

Spitfires forward Aaron Luchuk snored
his team-leading 13th goal of the regu¬
lar season just 37 seconds into the ex¬
tra frame to heat the Greyhounds 3-2
after the two OHL Vfet division rivals
battled for 60 minutes in front of an an¬
nounced crowd of n 15*

Fellow Spitfires Bradky Latour and Men

nia Sting. Greyhounds forward Gabe
Guertkr scored both goals for Sault Ste
Mark but dropped their second game
to as many contests against the Spitfires
this season and M to S-9-3-0 on the

Windsor head aoach Rocky Thompson
said it wasn't the best hockey the Spit¬
fires have played tilis season but it was a
stMement game ^inst a division foe in
whxh they found a way to win and gen¬
erated keys goaJb when the opportunity
presorted itsdf

“We want to be considered a oontender
this year” Thompson said. "We've got a
little bit of a streak going right now and
Wve had a tough schedule. We've been
on the road an awful lot so we wanted
to establish ourselves here at home and
make a statement that we are a good
team.”

Luchuks overtime winner was a result
of hard work after winning a defensive
zone fkeoff and maintainii^ posses¬
sion in Greyhounds territory. After a
centering attempt was knocked down
by Windsors Cristmno DtQadrttot In-
chuk picked up the rotting puck feked
the goaitender Brandon Halverson out
of position and slid a backhand into the
open cage to send fens at the WFCU
Centre home happy.

*Whm it is three-on-three you can
never pvt up on the pfeyT Ludiuk said
"DiGiarinto was able to kick the puck
back to me and give me some spacer I
was lucky enough to put a pretty good

move on Halverson and put it in, Its a
big two points agrinst Sault Ste: Marie.
Its a division game so its a btg game no
matter what”

A hot start to the regular season for
Luchuk has seen him scone more goals
through 21 games than during the en¬
tire 2014-15 seaso n to whkh he had 10.
Ludmkkpiay has been noticed by many
across the Ontario Hockey League but
more importantly; he has impressed his
own head coach to the process.

‘Without a doubt Aaron has had a
great start to the yeaif Thompson said
“Fie made a great play m the goal by

up and slid it into the empty net Hes
proving he can ptiy and produce: Has
getting an opportimity to succeed and
grabbing to”

Michael DiPietro made 26 saves to goal
for the win in his first start since return¬
ing from the World Under-17 Hockey
Challenge in Northern B.C where he
dazzkd the crowd with his quickness*
athletic ability and sheer knack for mak¬
ing bi^ saves,

Tt was to to be hade with the guys, I
missed them,” DiPietro said "Fro hap¬
py we got the win in overtime. Sault Ste.

Marie is good team with a lot of skilled
players and solid goafcendet I expected
a battle and we had nothing short of that
today Nowwe just need to keep the mo¬

In First Victory For Women’s Hockey

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Lancer womens hockey team earned dieir
first win of the season on with a 3-2 double over¬
time win over the York Lions at South Windsor
Arena this past weekend

Head coach Jim Hunter said the win was a long
time coming for Windsors young team

“They worked hard and they deserved iCIdimt-
er said "York got a late on us to force overtime
but we didn't get down on ourselves. We came
back and fought hard whkh is a good sign. We
stayed tight, battled through adversity and were
fortunate enough to get the win kte.”

Although the Lancers came out foil of energy it
was the lions who got on die board first at 2:47

ofthefir^perkdmagodbyRena±aBastos,The
rest of the first period was back and forth play
where both goalkeepers were keeping the game
dose,

late in the second period Jfflian JRops would be
rewarded for her strong efforts when she tied
the game up on a goalmouth scramble. The goal
was scored at 1439 with the assist going to Hilary
Hettwer and gave the Lancers confidence head-
ed into the second intermission.

The Lancers then surged out and tooka2-I!cad

earfy in the first on a goal from Kristyn Lawer-

ence. The goa! put Wmdsor in fte driver seat as

the lions tied it up ona goal from Raenna Kelly
Lhe final six minutes would be M of excitement
but neither teamwould score again in regulation,
which sent the game into overtime.

Windsor thought they had won die game in the
opening overtime period but the goal was waved
offdue to the lions net being dislodged prior to
the puck crossing the line, much to the ire of the
Lancer bench. Windsor would calm down and
oontinu e to control die tevd of play throughout
the frame and were rewarded for their discipline
when York was assessed a penalty late in the first
overtime which gave Windsor an extended pow
er play for much of the second.

The Lancers eventually took home the double
overtime victory when Natalie Barrette fired the
puck from a sharp angle and into the back of the
net with just 032 second remaining in the frame
Id avoid the shoot-out, giving the Lancers their
first win of the season.

Lancers goaitender Ingrid Sandven look home
the win in net stopping 32 of 34 shots and earn-
mg the praise ofher head coach.

1 thought die was the difference^maka; a Hunt¬
er said "We had a good chat prior to die game
and 1 said, At some point and time our goaiten¬
der is going to have to steal us a game; Its like a
pitcher in baseball or a quarterback in footbal
We needed our goalie to be our best player to*
night and tonight Ingrid was our best player?

Unfortunately for the Lancers, they would not
have much time to edebrate their triumph as a
datewith file Guelph Gryphons loomed the next
afternoon. Despite a strong effort Windsor M
behind 4-0 and eventually dropped a 7-0 deci¬
sion to the visiting Gryphons at South Windsor
Arena Nov 14

Although the Lancers came out hungry with a

fest paced tempo, the Gryphora got on the board
first when Kadi Shdl found the bade of file net at

5:19 of the first period

Hie second period was all Guelph as they scored
three unanswered goals to build a four-goal lead
Kelly Gibbons and Marde Landman opened the
period with a pair of goals m the first two and a
half minutes before Avert Nooren scored asbort-
handed marker at 12:29

The Lancers continued to put the pressure on in
the third but had some trouble finding the bade
of the net. Guelph added three more goals in the
period to take the win

“As much as we wanted to celebrate our first win,
we had to get right back at it [against Guepi] 7
Hunter said "Were a long way from where we
want to be so one win csver a weekend is not
good enough for us. We need to find ways to
get points, especially at home We need to take
advantage of our home games and see if we can
catch up in the standings,”

After file loss the Lancers now sit at 0-6-1-1 on
the season and continue to remain in last place to
the OUA standings but with plenty of opportu¬
nity to climb the ladder as file season progresses.
The Gryphons improve to 7-2 on the year and

The Windsor Lancer mem badretball
team was defeated for the first time
durir^ the OUA regular season to the
visiting Western Mustangs 83-63 this
past week at the St Denis Centre

With die loss on rivalry night the Lane-
ers are now 2-1 on the season while the
Mustangs also sporta2-l record early in
the 2015-16 campaign,

Windsor opened the game on an 8-2
run before the Mustangs scored 11
straight points to lead 13-8 after the
opening 10 minutes of play. 'The Lancers
would pick up the pace offensively but
Western would match their efforts and
continued to hold the lead throughout
the second quarter and take a 39*31 lead

at halftime.

Windsor got into foul trouble early in
tiie second half racking up six fouls in
the first three and a half minutes. Down
61-45 heading into the final quarter, the
Lancra eroded in the fourth goir^ on
a 16-8 run through the first haft' of the
quarter

The Lancers cut the Mustangs lead to
eight midway through the frame and
further trimmed die deficit to five points
with just under seven minutes remain¬
ing but an eight-point burst from An¬
thony Spkidis helped the Mustangs
secure their lead and leave Windsor on
rivalry night with an 83-63 road %i ctory.

Westerns Greg Morrow; the GIMs
leading scorer, recorded a game-high
28 points and 15 rebounds while just
narrowly missing out on a tripte-double
with eight assists. Morrows big nigtii

would also be a contributing factor to
Westerns superior success rate from
three-point territory

Alex Coote recorded a career-high 23
points against the Lancers shooting an
impressive percentage from behind the
three-point line and knocking down 5-6
in the game Peter Schemes showed off
his talent around file perimeter, scoring
12 points for the Mustang and follow¬
ing Morrow with a six-rebound effort

Fifth year senior guard Alex Campbell
finished the game with a team-high
21 points whkh played a large role in
Windsors fight to come back in the
second half of the contest First year for¬
ward isiah Osborne followed was the
only other Lancer in double digits with
11 points on the night Randy Oriakhi
led foe Lancers in rebounds grabbing
nine in total and was dosety followed by

Windsor Spitfires coaches, players and
hockey fens alike got to sit back and
walch a new chapter in the history of
hockey between Canada and Russia
untold in their very own rink

Windsor forwards Aaron Luchuk and
Crishano DiGiarinto played on a line
with one another and were plus-one in a
2-1 victory for Team OHL ingame four
of the CHIk Ganada-Rnssia series while
first-year Spitfires head coach Rocky
Thompson, associate coach Trevor Le-
towski and their entire staff got to be
the men behind the benches at erne of
the high-profile events in junior hockey
with high-round NHL draft picks such
as Mitch Mamet; Lawson Crouse and
Spencer W&soa

'The guys played wdl from the start
of the game until the end of the game,
goalies included” Thompson sakL Tu-
ehuk and DOadnto were our penalty
Idlers but thdr line with Iordan Kyrou
from Sarnia scored a goaL In all areas of
the game that line was definitely a big
positive farm”

While DiGiacinto was named to Team
OHL alongside fellow Spitfires forward
Logan Brown in late October, Luchuk
wasonly called up to the roster that very
day when Brown was scratched from
the lineup with an upper-body injury

One day removed from an overtime
winning goal against Sauk Ste, Marie
Greyhounds, Luduikfc 13 goals and 19
points in 21 games this season made
him a perfect candidate to fill the final
spot on the Team OHL roster

h was an honor to get the call ft was
pretty short notice but tt was a lot of
fun out there representing the OHL,”
Ludtuk sakL “Everyone took a shift to
get their legs under them but after that it
was just a regular j^me, just a bftqukker
with all of that skill on the ice, 1 fek I fit in
right in and I had a couple chances that I
coukirit bury but it was a lot of fun and it
was a good experience.*

His head coach was not so surprised
however:

"To me ft was a no-brainer once Logan
Brown was injured; Thompson said
“Hes had a great year and hats why he
won the right Once they Indeed at his
stats they realized it and were wowed
He could have easily scored in the sec*
ond period but he fanned on it and the
goahender hardy got a gfave cm it He
did a great job cm the penalty kill and
thdr whole line with DiGiadnto and
Kyrou was really good all night”

dance at the WFCU CentreNov. Id

Team OHLoutshot Russia 38-22 in the
victory, holding them to just one goal
over two games as Mkhad McNiven
of the Owen Sound Attack and Dylan
Wdls of the Ptferborough Petes provid¬
ed solid goaltending for Team OHL

Russian goaftender Alexander Trush-
kov rebounded from a tough outing in
the first game erf the series in Kelowna,
EC and kept his dub within conten¬
tion throughout the night, making nine
third period saves and a total of 36 on
the night to earn player of the game
honors for his team

Team OHL outshot the Russians 7-0
in the opening seven minutes before
running into penalty trouble, providing
thdr opponent with a two-man advan¬
tage which the visitors would capitalize

Russia took thdr second lead of the
series as wnn rinpermo mustieo otr a

er on a cross-crease pass from Daniil
Vovchenko at 727 and Russia took a
1-0 lead into the first intermission de-
<pfte being oulshot 12-4

Team QHL would benefit from some
great goaltending to open the second
period as McNiven turned away both
Alexander Protapovidi and Artur Luxta
in the same shift. McNiveris night came
to an end shortly after and stopped 11 of
the 12 shots he faced

Grow On Windsor held its month end
party at the Bourbon Tap and Grill as a
final plan to raise money and celebrate
a successful month for keeping cancer
funds and research local*

The group, based around Movernber,
has raised over $ 150 jQQG this year and is
keeping all the proceeds local* whereas
general Movmiber events tend to send

it elsewhere

nity has been outstanding in the cam¬
paign and Windsor and Essex County
has been more than supportive both
financially and in spirit

“hi general, I find most people in our
area arevery giving individuals and they
more than proved it with Grow Gn this
yearf said Kassem 'When we asked if
people would be interested in support¬
ing our cause of keeping the money
local* it was without missing a beat that
people said yes and that they would
want to participate in it”

Both individuals and corporations set
any dollar amount to raise through¬
out the month and received pledges to
reach the goaL Kassem said some of the
individual group numbers went up to as
much as $30,000.

“The reason a lot of people get involved,
and I myself started the campaign, was
finding out the money Windsor and
Essex County raised didn’t stay in the
area,” said Kassem 'One in eight men

will be diagnosed with prostate cancer
so why not keep local and support our
men here.”

Jim Fair, a cancer survivor found out
three years ago he had prostate cancer

10 days after retiring He said he was
lucky to have it caught when he did
and al! the tests are good after having it
removed

Tve been involved with Grow On

Windsor for a couple of years now and
its g^eat to see that & really gaining
some steam and getting recognition this
yeaif said Bair “Guys 1 we to get tested
Everyone should get involved with the

program on a yearly basis and it does
save lives. I had to go out of Windsor
when I had my surgery but now be¬
cause of Grow Gn we have so much
more available here”

Personalized Artist Talk

While artist conversations and ponds
are nothing out of the ordinary, a recent
event looks to shake up the structure

A handful of local artists came together
for what was the debut of IN Conver¬
sation atlhe Art Galley of Windsor's
Rodzik gallery Nov. 29* With this events
theme centered on storytelling, rough¬
ly a dozen people attended the panel
where its intent was to create a natural
dialogue between artist and audience.

'All of these adiibitions are in a way
related to storyteHtog* stories that are in¬
vested in objects, or a book,” said AGW
contemporary art curator Srimoyee
Mitra.

Some of the focal artists present woe
musician Crissi Cochrane as wdl as

novelist and poet Paul Vasey The event
featured interactive question and an*

swer periods, and each artist came with

work ready to perform* with all of' it
keepii^ to the theme of storytelling by
discussing its origias and fundamentals.

“I start with a character, always," Vasey
sakL *1 don’t ihink about plot, I dorit
think about structure^ I doht map it out
because I find that kills the life of the

story If youre mapping it out to tiiat
degree, then die characters aren't telling
you where the/re going, you're telling
them where they're going."

This is ihe first time foe event has been

University Helps Students
with Research and Writing

CALEBWORKHAN

News Editor

The University of Windsor is attempt¬
ing to make toe best of their students
toroi^h sessions, which will teach them
howto wrie and convey todr research*

The Writing Support Desk has been
hosting workshops in order to hdp
students to piece together and develop
the research they are putting together in
tbeir studies. They hdp with the funda¬
mentals, structures and overall quality

of the writing research and conveying
of the paper,

Jason Horn, an academic writing advi¬
sor, said whatever step students are at in
toeir writing, they are there to help.

“Whether they are developing an intro¬
duction or thesis, the structure of their
essay or even Just todr grammar we are
iryii^tohefotoemsotheycanirKweoo
especially since toeyVe cut toe OAC out
ofhigjt schools and theyhs not expected
to do as much writing or research,” said
Horn ‘A tot of people come into univer¬
sity under prepared in this aspect and

we want to help them to get to toe level
they should be at and beyond”

The writing desk has one-on-one ser¬
vices available to students who come
and ask for it aloi^side the workshops,
Horn said toe one-on-one is good but
if a lot of people are asking for hdp, i&
harder to meet the needs of everyone
and thats where the wotkshops come
in,

“We want to hefo as many students as
possible with what they need and we
find the workshops are very good for
this,” said Horn “This one was specif¬

ically held in conjunction with LTW31
Discover which is designed to hdp
undergraduates get into conferences to
present”

Horn said UWill Discover will hdp
bufid impressive resumes and provide
opportunity to have a leg up in toe in¬

Recent Research Shows Ethno-Racial

Immigrants Make Less Self-Employed

CALIBWORKMAN

News Editor

A recent study done my Du Reza Na-
khaie, professor in the department ofso-
dofagy anthropology and mminotogy
says new immigrants who are sdf-m-
ployed make Jess money

This artide, published in the Canadian
Review of Soctotogyr states immigrants
who seek self-employment almost al¬

ways earn less than those who apply for
wage or salary jobs.

However, another paper coauthored by
Professor Frandne Schtosser and Dr
Gerry Kerr stated “immigrant entre¬
preneurs are unrepresented in inter¬
national new ventures and have many
characteristics known to fanffate suc¬
cess, including more founders* univer¬
sity degrees, intematfonal connections,
and technical capability

Nakhaids research said a lot of immi¬

grants are breed into to sdf-emptoy-
ment because of fedora such as lan¬
guage barriers, customer disaimination
and a lack of familiarity with business
laws and odtuiBl values.

He said many ethno-radal immigrants
are attracted to ideas such as job-fkitibiL
ity that come with sdf-empfoyment

The coauthored papers by SchJosser
and Kerr gives four reasons as to why
this information does not represent the
majority of sdfemployed immigrants,

induding immigrant entrepreneurs
have more intematfonal oonnectfons
than native ones, the international
group leverages thdr human resourc¬
es to develop new ventures, a lot of the
group is over-represented with having
certain characteristics in relation to uni¬
versity education, depth of international
experience, devetoping tace-to>face in-
ternatkmal conned
pability and non-significant INV char¬
acteristics which developed technology
meditated international connections.

They state these immigrait entrepre¬
neur ventures are supported and do
not represent file idea tfa^ they earn less
outside of the whtie collar brackets.

“Light and Reflection” Illuminates Gallery
Space With Frozen Moments in Time

Elliott Erwitt once said “photography
is an art of observation. It has link to do
with the tfain^ you see and everything
to do with the way you see them' 1

The Ajtspeak Gallery played host to this
quote, displaying bod photographer
Marisa Spadaforafe woifc from Nov, 22
through Nov 27. with a dosing mo¬
tion held Nov 28. It was a space tilled
with photographs, which captured
different moments in time; varying in
shape, size and depiction depending on
the subjects in the photographs,

“I love photographing people, and land¬
scapes and just documenting moments
and peoples lives, especially for friends
and famfljt' saidSpadafora.

Interesting angles and competitions of
foe photographs set them apart from
each other and exhibited isolated stories
within the fames far foe viewer to con¬
template.

‘This show is about people pausing,”
expressed Spadafbra “Sometimes when
you step out in the rooming you are in

such a msh to get to where you have to
go foal you donY notice foe beauty of foe
light, or your reflection in a window, or
in a puddle, so I hope that it pauses peo¬
ple to stop and say you know what, not
only can I do this, not only can I capture
this moment but give some pause on
everyday liter

Looking dosdy at some of her pictures,
it can immediately be noticed how the
artist plays with reflection aid colors to
symbolize and give form to an abstract¬
ed meaning. One of her photographs,
“Echo of Lighi” captured the reflection
of boats on the water and the ripples
blended the colors of the reflection, thus
crcatirg an intangible meaning alto¬
gether.

T hope it evokes emotion, memories in
themselves for foe viewer" said Spadafo-
ra, Tfl am asked I will tell them my sto¬
ry and where it comes from but if not I
would rather you derive from it whalev-
er emotion it evokes in you., that&why
I mixed some of the primary colors wkh

The Downtown Windsor Business

presented the fourth annual Wintertest
on the afternoon ofNov 28. The down¬
town event had numerous people pair¬
ing their chairs dose to the Ouellette
Avenue road as the parade, featuring
prominent local fluxes and businesses,
went under tiill swing for the better part
of an hour

“ft gets you in the spirit for ChristmasT
said Anne Mafgaret-Lewsaw, who at¬
tended to see ha - daughter who was
part of the Windsor Dance experience
parade group. 'Good community, its a
great day. You’re promoting different or¬
ganizations in the community?'

On top of the festive atmosphere how¬
ever, the Downtown Mission was also
present, making roasted chestnuts. The
proceeds tarn the day went towards
furthering their support for those less
fortunate during the holidays. But by
tying it all in with the Winferfest parade,
die mission is also hoping to promote
their services as toe temperature contin¬

ues to drop

“This is toe time of giving, its a time
where people think about their fellow
man, ifs also the time of year where
people are cold,” said mission director
of development Fiona Coughlin. 'They
realize toe impact of being homeless or
without shelter or food more so at this
time of year?’

The parade began on the owner of
Ouellette and Giles Boulevard at 3 pm,
eventuau/ turning at Pitt Street With
about 50 units being part of the parade,
toe float supported everyone from dty
councilors to marching bands, Iconk
charaders such as Mkkey Mouse and
Elmo appealed to families even as they

watched the mtlaiahfe snowman or gin¬

gerbread man pass by Of oourse, it saved
the best for last as Santa Claus was the fi¬

nal ride of toe parade. But ultimately toe
event made for an atmosphere where an
entire community came together.

'This time of year you just want to get
into that spirife said Peter Polafe a chef
at the University of Windsor who was
at the parade with his wife and two

kids, “You meet people, you see people,

There* a hint of irony in playing this
particular program as we go through a
seasonal change.

In entering the second portion of thrir
Masterworife series, the Windsor Sym¬
phony Orchestra performed Antonio
Vivaldis "The Bout Seasons' 1 Nov; 28
and 29. Both shows were subfeted to
packed audiences as they experienced
the flavors of spring, summer, autumn
and winter through notes and compo¬
sitions.

The orchestra collaborated with ac¬
claimed violinist Rachel Barton Pine,
who was partly responsible for leading
the charge in bringing the program to
life For every movement within each
season represented Pine showcased
tremendous skill as die contrasted tones
and tempos seamlessly, She slimes ever
brightly as both a sob musician and
orchestra companion as the program
embraced the timed works ofVivaldi

'fhe first chunk encompassed the ma¬
jority of foe concert as it wasted little

time delving into "The Four Seasons.”
Each seasons nuances were successful¬
ly channeled through the instrumental
work of the orchestra

ft began with the joyful spring move¬
ment where ftish fields and singing birds
can be seen through sound represented
through delightfully toned notes, only to
transition into a thunderous approach
through rapid successions on the vi¬
olin. Summer was met with lethargy
to underscore the dreadful beat of the
!6th century Autumn stayed upbeat
throughout as it revolved around har¬
vesting festivities and winter was a mix
of teeth-dmttenng temperatures and
warming presence around a fireplace,
which was marked by the pulling of vi¬
olin strings.

Per usual, fine symphony performed
valiantly enough to provide a strong
auditory experience. But it is the com¬
mitment and energy within Fines violin
playing whkh made it a truly compel¬
ling listen. As the final note was played
and Vivaldis seasonal loop was dosed,
the standing ovation from die audience
ended up being more than warranted

The program conducted with Beetho-
verik Symphony na 6 in F major.

Theatre Review — Scapino

Brian Haight ami David Httdyma star in University Players’ production of‘Scapino' at Essex Hall Theatre

from Nt iv- 27 to Dec, 6*

JPfrofo by// Doug MacLeLlani

Short but sweet would be the simplest
way to describe “Scapino,’ the sixties-set
Naples comedy which serves as a mid¬
point for the University Players’ current
season. The production runs for less
than two hours, but each minute finds
rtsdf bursting with energy making for
a wonderfully charming and organic
experience

TTie title comes from its central charac¬
ter Scapino is a lovable scoundrel He&
a mischievous figure light-heartedly so,
but odd!)’ enough hes looked upon as
a beacon of guidance for a few charac¬
ters in the story Specifically its charac¬
ters Ottavio and Leandro who lode for
Scapinok help, as they try to sway their
controlling lathers into not anai^ing a
marriage for them He accepts the job,
but goes about it in his own, manipula¬
tiveway

From a personal standpoint among
the better nuances of the play was how
Scapino occasionailykeeps the audience
in the loop, breaking file fourth wail in
the process* Its a great example of how
the entirety of the production is all in the
good name of fun. From the musical
interludes sung in kalian, to the hilari¬

ous banter between characters getting
under each others skin Each actor on
stage absorbs file flavours of the writing
and uses ii to their advantage The slap¬
stick humor remains consistent in its
tastefulness and effective use is made of
the two-fioor set as scenes flow with the
utmost ease.

ft would be criminal however, to talk
about this production and not mention
Brian Haights performance as the tit¬
ular character* To say he shines would
be too much of an understatement On
paper, Scapino is somewhat of a das¬
tardly chapter, but Haigfrt makes him
a lovable scamp, putting in more than
enough charm in the performance,
which makes him a joy to watch The
supporting cast put in fine work as wdl
especially David Hudyma who plays
Geronte But Haight ultimately com¬
mands the show in making it as enjoy¬
able as it is*

The production relatively shorter
length comes off as beneficial as the
comedy remains briskly paced from
banning to end, with many laughs in
between Plenty of character is injected
within this play to where ifo easy to rec¬
ommend to just about anyone So while
it may finish foster, chances are it will
stick with you longer

‘Sapnb runs until Dec 6*

Tie Lancer mens basketball team lost
to the two top*ranked teams in the CIS
over a weekend road trip to Ottawa.

In the weekends opening game, Wind¬
sor tell 87-53 to the first-ranked Ottawa
Gee Gees af Montpetit Hal Things
only got tougher for the Lancers as
they Pepped on the court at die Ravens
Nest and were humbled by the sec¬
ond-ranked Carleton Ravens by a 99-52
score Nov. 28.

Although the Lancers fall to 4-3 on the
season after the pair off losses, head
coach Ryan Steers squad is still tied tor
first place in the OUA West division
along with the Laurier Golden Hawks,

All OUA sports will now break until the
New Year for their exam and lioiiday
break

In die battle against reigning QS coach
of the year James Derouin and his OS
isike .r medal bail dub from a year ago,
Windsor would keep it dose early but
would tall victim to Otiawas fire power
throughout the 40-minute duration of
the contest.

A tighL first quarter saw the Lancers only
trail die Gee Ged 16-13 but Ottawa ef¬
ficient three-point shooting and quick
ball movement helped the hosts to lake
a 31-15 advantage midway through the
second frame. Windsors offense contin¬
ued to drive into the Ottawa defense but
the Gee Gees continually had multiple
pkym protecting the rim and were also
quick to recover to the outside. The Gee
Gees held the lancers to just five points

in the second quarter and Windsor
found themselves with a 37-18 deficit at
half time aptsnst the top-ranked team in
tiie country.

Lancers guard Mike Rooca start¬
ed off the second half with a pair of
three-pointers which fired Windsor up
early in the third quarter, however Ot¬
tawa responded with five-point push
including a dunk from Brody Maracale
and a three-pointer from Caleb Agada
id regain their momentum and open
up a 20-point lead Hie Gee Gee lead
continued to grow throughout the latter
stages of the third quarter, outscoring
Windsor 29-17 in the frame and round-
out the contestwith an 87-53 victory

The next night would prove to be more
of the same for file Lancers as they took
on file five-time defending national
champion Ravens in a rematch of the

OUAs gold medal game which saw
Carleton come out victorious en route
to their 10th CIS title in an astounding
11 years.

Windsor struggled from file opening
tip-off as the host Ravens outscorcd
the Lancers 33-10 in the opening quar¬
ter. Orleton would nearly double their
first quarter total en route to a 63-26lead
at the half

After the third quarter saw tiie Lanc¬
ers get outscored 26-9, the men finally
found their groove in the fourth quar¬
ter and outscored die hosts 17-10 in
the final 10 minutes. The Lancers were
out-rebounded throughout die contest
by die Ravens, losing 56-23. Fifth year
guard Alex Campbell who scored 11
points while forward Tyier Persaud
chipped in with eight points led them
offensively

The Gee Gees and Ravens are both
undefeated at the holiday break with
identical 7-0 records and are unlikely
to meet defeat until the two national
powerhouses battle one another at file

The Windsor Lancer mem vdfeyball
team ended the first half of their OUA
regular season on a high note, coming
back to defeat the Ryerson Rams in a
five-set thriller at the St Denis Centre
this past weekend

The five-set match win over Ryerson
came one night after dropping a four-
set match to the Toronto Varsity Biues
# home The weekend split g fees the
young Lancers a 2-8 record after a com¬
petitive showing against the Rams and
Blues, who are the third and fifth place
teams in the OUA conference

With the first half of the regular season
now dosed, Lancers head coach Janies
Gravelie wants his team to use their last
game of 2015 as an example for the re¬
mainder of the season

"We have to continue to get better'
Gravdle said “We weren't good enough
in the first half and our record reflects
that if we play like we did [against Ry¬
azan] then were going to have a lot of
success in the second half

The Lancers started ihrir weekend off

against the Blues Nov 27. The

Blues took control early on in the first set
and came out with a 25-21 wire Wind¬
sor bounced back in the second set to
win 25-22 but unfortunately would not
earn another set in the match. The Var¬
sity Blues opened the fourth set 4-0 and
led the Lancers by eight points at one
point Toronto would continue to dom¬
inate and took the last two sets, winning
them both by scores of 25-15 and 25-18,
respectively.

Josh Edwards led the Lancers with 11
kills but registered only one dig in the
contest Fifth year senior Shawn Resu¬
me dripped in dgjht kilt

Next up were the Ryerson Rams With
an impressive season thus the Rams
looked to take control early on, but the
Lancers stormed the floor to grab a 20-
14 lead in the first set Brad Gyemi led
the Lancers offense with five kills and
three digs in a 25-21 first set wire The
Rams came out into toe second set wish
a different mindset, as they grabbed an
early 11-7 lead that eventually turned
into a 25-14 second set wire

Tied H the Lancers and Rams battled
in the third to obtain a lead going into
the fourth The Lancers led 8-4 until the
Rams called timeout and rallied to tk
the set at 10 points each. The set stayed
even until a kill by Rams Mare Reardon
and an ill-timed Windsor attack error
helped the Rams win the set 27-25.

Once again the Lancers found them-
selves in the same 2-1 hde that had al¬
lowed the Varsity Blues to defeat them
the previous night

The fourth set started with the Rams
leading 7-4 The score was 13-11 after

a Josh Edwards kill and would go back
and forth until the setwas tied at 18 after

an attack error by Ryersoos Robert Wo-

jdk. The Lancers kept the set dose and
took a lead on a kill fan John Moate
assisted by setter Blase Wasser* which
gave the Lancers a fourth set win and
forcedafffth

The Rams started off the fifth set by
scoring three consecutive points but toe
Lancers came back to tie the game and
eventually came out on top with a 15-11
victory and earning their second won

match of the season.

Lanceri Brad Gyemi registered a total of
14 kills and 7 digs while Josh Edwards
had another great performance with 14
kills as well Gyemi said he recognized
his previous mistakes a^unst theVarsity
Blues and did his best to prevent those
same mistakes.

"My main focus this game was to avoid

errors,” said Gyemi "The match before
1 had a lot of errors. If 1 was in a bad
situation I would just find my rhythm.
P!^ an easy ball a tip or something to
try and get my rhythm back so I can get
a big swing at it”

The Lancers will look to pick if) on the
high note which they left off on when
they face the Waterloo Warriors at the

St Denis Centre Jan. 15.

"Although we have quite a long break
now we have to build off of this win and
use it for our trainii^; for the month,”

erf Hamlin said* "We got into a situation
where we fet a couple games dip away
in the third period but this weekend we
only lost one out of six periods*”

Waterloo jumped into a tie with Ryer-
soa Toronto and Brock for fifth in the
division while Laurier fells to 6-8 on the
year and drops into ninth place, just two

“WeVe been playing well as of late and
there were a few breaks here and there
which we weren’t getting," Hamlin said
'Against Laurier we weathered the
storm and I thought we outplayed them
and deserved to win.”

Laurier opened the scoring eariy in the
first period but the Lanoer defense were
impenetrable for the remainder of the
night as the Lancers rallied and won the
game thanks to a goal eariy in the third
period from Dylan Seguin*

Chris Scott also scored tor Windsor

UWindsor’s Farewell To Dennis Fairall:
A Canadian Coaching Legend

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The beginning of a new season in track
and field brings a sad reminder to the
entire Windsor Lancers Athletic De¬
partment

As foe annual Blue and Gdd In¬
ter-Squad Meet neais, the 2015 edition
of foe Lancers will be without head
coach Dennis Fairall who announced
he took long term medical leave from
the his role at the University ofWindsor
Oct 29.

Lancers director of athletics Mike Havey
said it was difficult to think oftheWind¬
sor Lancers without thinking of Dennis
Fairall

“Dennis is an iconic figure here at foe
University ofWindsor and in the histo¬
ry of Lancer athletics*” Havey said “He
has been a mod d of dass, humility and
professkmalism his entire career ... he

has been someone who has always put
the team first He has mentored gener¬
ations of student-athletes, coaches and
colleagues alike We haw all been made
better because of his Inifoence and lead¬
ership™

A native of Tilisonburg, OoL Fairall is
one of the most decorated coaches in
Canadian University history, having
been honoured 65 times as foe Canadb
an or Ontario coach of the year in both
track and field and cross country

FairalFs winning ways were instiled in
him as an athlete when was a member
of Westerns gold medal 4-by-2Q0 metre
team at foe 1975 OUA championships
and began his coaching career in his
hometown where he founded and was
head coach of the Tilisonburg Legion
Trade dub in 1974 Fairall remained
with foe dub until 1985 when he joined
the University ofWindsor and began to
build foe Lancers track dub into foe pe¬
rennial powerhouse across Ontario and
Canadian Universities.

In his 29 seasons at the helm of two
Lancer sports, Fairaffs teams captured a
total of 25 OS cross country and track
and field championships with 20 in
trade and field and five in cross country
Rrovindafly the Lancers also took home
46 Ontario University championships
with 39 track and field titles and seven
cross country crowns.

Fairaffs often told his athletes to work
hard and to give everything you have for
the team every time you stepped onto
the fidd of competition. His fundamen¬
tal stance that the team was bigger tlian
foe individual gave thousands of ath¬
letes the bdief they could pull out fotir
best from within themselves.

“It is important In sport to work to¬
gether to achieve a common goal sim¬
ilar to what the student-athletes will do
upon graduation in the working world,”
Fairall said 'Our program attempts to
create an environment through dedi¬
cation to training and an outstanding
competition sdieduk to alow athletes

to develop to foe highest levd possible”

In addition to his University of Wind¬
sor coaching duties, Fairall has exten¬
sive international coaching experience
which he will use during his long-term
medical leave to volunteer coach elite
athletes. Fairall began his international
duty as foe head coach of the 1985 and
1989 Canadian Maccabi Games entry
in Israel and also served as liead Coach
of Team Canada at the 1989 World Uni¬
versity Games team in Duisburg West
Germany and was also a member of
Caiiadascoatifingstaffatthe 1995,1997
and 1999 FISU Summer Games.

In 2005 Fairall served as head coach of
Team Canada at the Fan American Ju¬
nior Athletics Championships which
were held in Windsor The event drew
thousands of foe worlds best up-and-
oaming athletes to the Rose Ctiy and
under his direction. Team Canada
earned foeir highest medal count in foe
history of the event at the time

This past summer, Fairalls career hit a
high pointwith abreakout performance
for Lancer alumnus Mdissa Bishop
who won a gold medal in the womens
800 metre event at file 2015 F'an Am
Games, Under Dennis® direction, she
also set a new Canadian record in foe
800-mdie in her silver medal run at foe

The students of the University ofWind-
sor have been voting on the implemen¬
tation of a new student fee to fund the
capital of die Lancer Studert Recreation
Centre project

Over the past three years, membm of
all three student groins on campus - the
UWSA, GSS and OPUS - participated
in the development of the facility plans
and the financial modd from the very
beginnii^ and were said to have been
part of every decision made related to
this project The dements iff the fedhty
and the priorities determined all came
out of student focus groups that were

hdd on campus with a number of dif¬
ferent areas and groups.

The financial modd of the LSRC fee
was presented and explained in further
detail at a town hall meeting hosted by
UWSA CRO April Adams in the CAW
commons Nov, 27. Over 25 questions
wre asked by those in attendance and
answered by a pand including Lancers
intramural coordmator fosh Leeman
a$ well as UWindsor students Erin Ga¬
briel, Austin Roth, Meaghan Fdet and
HaiTnanjot Singh*

size absolutely deserves attention re
gaidkss of whkh side you lay orC Lee-
man explained "But now is the time to
do it This is the best value for your dol¬
lar yew are going to g£”

Singh said UWindsor students needed
to embrace the opportunity as a major
in the progression of the university and
its student body as they move forward
in an attempt to be on par with the best
schools in Canada,

T think ife time for the students to think
as a community;' Singh ‘Having this
fedly in a place like Windsor b defi¬
nitely goii^ tohdp us build a b^err and

as the Knights won for the third time in
two and a half days.

Spitfires head coach Rocky Thompson
said Windsor has done a lot of good
things fills season but when you are a
young team, you are bound to make
mistakes. However, it is important
his team learn fom them as the tram
progresses throughout file grind of the
QHL season.

"We had a good opportunity to beat a
team thalfc a realty good hockey dubT
Thompson said “We had a 3-2 lead but
we took too many penalties. We killed
the first three penalties against one of the
most dynamic power plays in the league
and could have had some momentum
coming off of those but in the third peri¬
od we were let downT

The first two goals of the game came 13
seconds apart, just over four minutes
in as Hayden MdCod of the Spitfires
tipped a hard point she* from Mikhail
Seig^chev past Tyler Parsons for a 1-G
lead. The Knights won die ensuring

Windsor blue line and fired a qukk
wrist shot at the net Spitfire goalfo, Gar¬
ret Hugfison kicked out the rebound
right to Londons Kole Sherwood and
he made no mistake, firing the puck up
high to score and tie the game

Windsor went ahead 2-1 as ca^rtain

found its way through arms, leg$ and
sticks and past Parsons.

The Spitfires nearly went ahead 3-1
while on the penalty kfll after Vktor

Bradley Latour picked up the puck at
M stride and flew in cm a goal but was
stopped by Parsons.

Both teams would combine a pair
of quick goals shortly after First, the
Knights took advantage of a Windsor
turnover while they were on the power
play. London carried into the Spitfires
end and the puck wait fom Milch
Mamer to Christian Dvorak, to J. j. Pic-
dnidi as he scored his 10th power play
goal of the year to tie the game 2-Z

Just 36 seconds after, the puck found

his point streak to 16 games by firing
a puck from the ri^it drde and was

THE ORDER 1886

PUBLISHER:

SONY COMPUTER
ENTERTAINMENT
DEVELOPER:
READY AT DAWN,
SCE SANTA
MONICA STUDIO
PLATFORMS:
PLAYSTATION 4

‘The Order 1886,” supposed prized
exclusive for the PlayStation console
turned out to be a fake gem concealed
deveriy within the confines of Arthuri¬
an legends and a steam punk Victorian
London, all blended together to make

it seem like an interesting plot with
substance. Like the year in the name
suggests, the year is 1886 and you play
as Galahad one of the members of the
Knights of the Round Table. The air is
filled with dismay and gfoom as the
centuries old order is trying to face the
tension prevailing on the streets of Lon¬
don with the people rebelling against
the aristocracy. The streets are being
terrorized by werewolves who are also
called Lyeans and it is the job of Gala-
had and his group of Knights to be the
poster heroes of the adventure and ward
off such adversities and make the streets

The concept, revolving around the leg¬
end of King Arthurs Knights and were¬
wolves within Victorian London* may

seem like an intriguing idea with uncan¬
ny potential, but somehow the theory is
not fully realized when it is translated
into the game Dull characters, inco¬
herent chapters and a fragmented plot
plague the narration. All these elements
seem subtle because the visuals of the
game are fantastic and thats as for as
the Order goes, Throughout your pro¬
gression you come across objects which
you have to lode over and it gives an
immediate impression of how hard the
developers want the players to admire
the graphics. No doubt it is the best
looking videogame to date, but visuals
alone cannot make a game appealing.
The mundane plot and the long mo¬
ments of walking through claustropho¬
bic pathways take up half the time of the
game and you fed that game is forcing

you to hold Its hand throughout the
adventure with constant tutorials till the
end, which is unheard of in videogames
nowadays.

The gameplay doesrit get any better to
save the Older from its downfall as it
brings in nothing new to the table. A
simplistic third person shooter* with
only a handful of interesting weapons
like the thermite rifle, which shoots a
cloud of gas and then it can be inciner¬
ated with a concentrated flare But you
only get to use such weapons in a few se¬
quences, which is such a shame because
the weapons are so eniovahle to use.

★ i

Also, all the plot points that are estab¬
lished in the game are left unresolved,
as the ending is abrupt and completely
unforeseen,

‘The Order 1886“ is a game that teases
you with what it could have been had It
used the Arthurian legends ingredient
in interesting ways. Victorian era was a
time of ingenuity of the industrial age,
a significant kap for mankind like the
Renaissance. Ironically the game, de¬
spite the setting, fails to capture those
moments and feJb behind rather than
develop a cohesive narrative filled with
excitement and immersion.

Theatre Review - A St. Clair Christmas

*

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

It is December, so its safe to say the bob
sdsys are on the horizon and the festive
atmosphere arrives at dockwork. Nu¬
merous Christmas produettons have
made their way onto the local stags over
the past few weeks. But none may be
as grandiose as the annualized produc¬
tion put on by St Ckir College Music
Theatre and Entertainment Technology
students,

M A St Gair Christmas" is seff^splaiiato-
ry The ChryslerTheatre has played host
to the musical in die form ofa growing
tradition, gamering a laige crowd with¬

out fail and within reason. The produc¬
tion is an aB-enccanpassing celebration
of the festivities, from its literal bells and
whistles to its harmonious nature. No
dtHjbt theii^ a fafr amo^
around the edges, but the music and
dance numbers as well as the charming
flavors of the aestiietics simply make it a
performance difficult to dislike

Any iconic Christmas song you can
think of makes its way into the show,
both for better and worse. You have
your While Christmas just as you have
your Silent NighL Santa Claus comes
to town the same way hes stock in the
chimney At a near relentless rate, the
production moves from one number to

another, going from the roaring twen¬
ties to the 1970s in the process. As there
are virtually no diaracteis, plotting or
narrative to consider, theres roughly 25
different Christmas pieces for the au¬
dience to sink into, with most of them
subjected to strongly committed perfor¬
mances from the ensembles as tlieyre
physically put through their paces.

Occasionally it could serve to be count¬
er-productive as the amount of moving
around in certain songs can detract
from the volume of the singing But
upon making sharp transitions towards
skwer; more moving numbers, it bnngp
out the best of the ensemHek vocal abil¬
ities.

It moves at a rapid rate, though some¬
times a bit too rapid as the orchestra
tinder the stag? take little breaks of their
own, putting the notes into the next
song just seconds after the previous one
The musicians underneath perform
valiantly and skillfully but with how
its structured it feds like a consump¬
tion of a meal without actually tasting
eL This can also reflect on the stage as
there have been symmetrical stumbles
mainly during the grand dances. Its
haid to mind too much however when

its offset by a palette of visual delights,
filled with wonderfully lavish costumes,
a welt-crafted set and strong, confident
lighting direction.

On top of it being a cdebration of die
seasoa “A St Clair Christinas'’ is also a
way for the schools Music Theatre stu¬
dents to expose and build upon their
talents. Theres a kvd of showmanship
to admire from how each member of
the ensemble puts in the effort Perhaps
with some extra tinkering, their poten¬
tial wiO be frilly realized in due time.

Chacon said tt was a slow start at first
getting families and students interested

but over the years it has grown since and
a lot more students are able to experi¬

"Its a great opportunity because stu-

new tradition and make new friends
in the area' said Chacon. Tve also had
many families tell me how great it is to
learn more about other cultures as wdl

and adopted other traditions during toe

Chacon said this land of activity is great
for people to learn about other cultures
with everything going on in the vwM

has kind of a shine but it doesn't show

As part of the annual Holiday Members’

Adventures in Retail: How Customers
are Restoring My Faith in Humanity

KAR-LEJGH KELSO

Lance Contributor

Ah yes, the agen^Jd lamert of a retail
worker slaving away during the holi¬
days. YouVe probably heard it a hun¬
dred times through countless Paeebook
posts and in-person conversations^ peo¬
ple can be less than land and considerate
to retail wcakmduruigtheholkfays. If
you haverit been seasonal help yet, you
can probahiy picture how challenging
the season can be without standing in a
stare. However, when you’re eventually
in those sensible sneakers, Christmas
takes on a whole other atmosphere Tri-
day nights at the mall during Midnight
Madness sales-sometimes, h can even
turn you into a devils advocate.

I work for an international dothing
company; whkh holds a spot at Dev¬

onshire Ma! I started in October, I sus¬
pect Fm seasonal help but they haverit
outright said so to me during the hftft^
process or my days there since.

As I kind of expected, things really
didn’t start getting linaip-to-the-back-
of-the-store-crazy T until last weekend,
when I was Messed with working the
cash re0ste£ (I promise thafs not sar¬
casm, as being a cashier is my favorite
task at work) I must say, in all hones¬
ty I think I was having a betto- time at
work than people standing in tine with
theft purchases. I actually felt really sor-
ry for each and every one of them AD
our customers looked exhausted just
totally beat down, and unhappy to
boot Everyone been there-trying to
shop the sales for hours because times
are tough* but we still want to give our
loved ones die best we can get It was

land ofa kkk to the shin to see everyone
tike this during a season where musk,
sigps, commercials, everythin is teBing
us i&a cheerful, happy-go-fodytimeof
year Iwasexpectii^thewi^untilniy
customers got to my register

What I found was, in fact despite what
I saw on theft feces, people were still
doing ftsdr best to keep theft spirits up
when dealing with me. Almost every
single person I cashed out did three very
distinct things: muled at me, greeted
me, and left my register wishing me a
good night or a Meny Christmas.

Now, this being my tint year working
retail at Christmas, I was kind of taken
aback.

Here I was expecting rudeness, impa¬
tience, exasperation, or otherwise un¬
pleasant ftteadfofis with my custom-

m-most especially from the ones who
looked particularly miserable while
standing in line-ami aD I received wot
polite, wdl-wishing ojstomers.

Admittedly, rilstoedraonmyccwodc-
ers transactions with customers while I
was scanning items, I heard customers
bidding them a Mary Christmas, too,
hearing laughter, or hearing them ask¬
ing my coworkers how they were and if
they had been there a long time that day

Honestly? The worst customers have
done to me so fer this season is mess
up my store. I can foi^ve them far
that Everyones in a rush this time of
year, trying to get presents before theft
kid comes home from gymnastics, or
theft wife comes home from her yoga
dass, and they still have to get home
and figure out dinner after theyre done
hiding presents. I get it Sometimes itsa

Ifttte frustrating to have to fcM the same
table of shills three times in a shift, but
Fve come to terms with the feet that its
going to happen, there are b^ger thing?
going on than someone rumpling up a
shirt instead erf folding it is not the end
of my world. Besides, Fm getting paid to
do it—why complain?

AB in all, I have to say, I would totally
work retail again during the holiday sea-
sore Fm sure some days (and custom¬
ers moods) are worse than others, and
maybe Fve just been incredibly lucky in
my interactions with customers. How¬
ever, from what Fve essperieneed so fer,
working retail during the holidays has
not destroyed my feith in humanity and
Wlndsorites, but restored it, one cus¬
tomer at a time.

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Exercise, diets, pills, therapy - basically
every comer has been delved into in
terms of toss management The new¬
est fed is very easily accessible and can
do a lot of good for your mind during
hard lima, like exams.

Coloring books are something long for¬
gotten for many after the age of six, frs
something you do in between the lines
asayoungchfld and grow out of last and

never really look back at

Lately, however, many stores have been
selling adult adoring books* to help
calm the body and de-stress* Studies
have said its the rhythmic repetition of
filling in similar spaces that hdps calms
the nerves so a lot of the books being
sold are of tiled-like plaid or mandak
patterns*

Blank page drawing and coloring for
the average person is a lot less stress re¬
lieving and, according to an older study
published over a decade ago and it can

even induce more toss.

Nine out of the 20 top selling books
on Amazoacom currently are of these
toss-relieving books and over 13.5
million have sold between the two most
popular ones* A lot of new ones are be-
ir^ published and soon everyone will be
able to find one appealing to them, from
sport culture and nerd culture to home
widens and nature.

Coloring, however, is not for everyone.
1 gave it a try met the past week and
found it tossed me out more than it did

help due to my lack of steady-handed¬
ness. The non-pafient beware, this may
nm be the thing for you.

Some other options available to students
exist at the university itself

For some it may be joining a dub at
foe university. One can never have too
many friends and people who have sim¬
ilar interests may be able to help you find
ways to let out she built up toss.

For others, it may be spoils and exerdse.
Sometimes* de-stressing is as simple as

exiting yourself, working up a sweat
and having fm doing what you enjoy.

There are other options as well includ¬
ing listening or playing music watching
a comedy or simply going for a walk*

If coloring does sound like foe thing for
you, the University of Windsors Book¬
store I’las them available as well as online
or at other local bookstores*

Remember to stay untossed this holi¬
day season and try to find a way to take
it easy.

OJibway Park has been receiving a lot
of attention latdy including a petition
signed by 22,000 people Id keep it as it
is and stay away from the big box devel¬
opment^ has already been ^proved

The park itsdf not only holds a lot of
unique and endangered ecosystems in
Canada, its a name everyone Horn the
area knows and has visited fts a big
spot tor tourism and it also attracts and
maintains a lot of photographers, bird ¬
watchers and nature lovers inside and
outside of the county.

With the recent decision by Windsor
council to let the Coco Group move on
to the next step of development, it has
left a lot of people with many questions.

Mot only wifl Windsor be losing part
of a beautiful park, it will be adding

something it doesn't need Canada,
and the world as a whole, is losing a
lot of its beauty to industmlization and
for many, this is where the line will be
drawn m Windsor and Essex Qjunty

A local group has stood up and man¬
aged to gather signatures in spite of
councils decisions. Although, foe/ve
had no avail with it to date, & a fight
they should be proud of as they contin¬
ue to ptherevery^
side With almost 22,000 signatures in a
little over a week, it goes to show there
are people who care and council should
look at these people when making Itli-
ture decisions regarding Ojitavay,

A group dedicated to the preservation
of the prairie, Save OjJbway* hdd a pasta

on fighting, because up to now; nothing
has changed

The park itself frames a lot erf species
that can only be found in Ojibway The
ecosystem, a very beautiful one, b also
one many hold a place in thdr heart for.
With the construction of the big box,
many negative things can happen, only
starting with the disturbance and de¬
struction of the park itself

With the mix of kxals getting involved,

Film Review - The Walk

ROHANKHANNA

Lance Contributor

‘The Walk' is based on the real life sto¬
ry of Phiflipe Petit, a french ropewalker
who challenged his courage to pursue
his dream of walking between the Twin
Towers on a rope in 1974 The film
stars Joseph Gordon- Levitt in the main
role along with Sr Ben Kii^sley (Papa
Rudy) and Charlotte le Bon (Annie),
Directed by Robert Zemeckis (“Forrest
GumpT“Back to the Future"), the film is
a visual spectade.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt pbys die role
convircmgly, although his French ac¬

cent can be a bit Jarring sometimes.
Phiflf>e Petit is a man of urraanny pas-
sfoa a passfcm to tope walk not fora liv¬
ing, but to ravish his own appetite to gfve
the best performance he can provide for
his own conscience above anythir^dse.
On his journey he comes across his cir¬
cus mentor Papa Rudy (Kingsley), from
whom he gathers valuable lessons about
walking the tope. Along M way he Ms
in love with Anne, who makes a living
by playing musk on the streets of Paris.
The insatiable hunger to walk between
the towers leads Phiflipe and Anne to
Mew^bik Gty and from thereon starts

the planning between Phiflipe and his
accomplices to make his dream possi¬
ble;

Rom the Parisian streets to the icon¬
ic booting TWin Towers undergo^
oxistruction, the sweeping shots of
Zemedoss artistic style accentuate the
ambience of the film and add to the
narration, Retifs iconic performance in
New Yotk is faithfully portrayed for the
aiulcrid screen an^
own right

The tension is imminent the moment
you anticipate a sense of vertigo as Petit
crosses the gap between die skyscrapers

and you realize that the artist madness
is in fed his detamination and his pen-
chant as an artist to seek out his dream.
& leaves a lasting impression on you and
makes you question your own motiva¬
tions in lifc

“The WfeEkT is a movie about pursuing
dreams, fighting your way through
obstacles to achieve them and the mo¬
mentous achievement of living than to

ed to die limit The beauty of ft all is the
feet that it devates the notion of how for

love letter to the Twin Towers, a roman¬
ticized visual treat that commenrarates

Play Review - Peter Pan (To)

ROHAN KHANNA

Peter Pan is an iconic character that has
remained “ageless’ in popular culture
for quite some time His adventures
have been showcased in animated films*
TV shows and movies over the years.

This time around, the boy who never

er adventure a4 the Kordazone Theatre
Dec It Named "Peter Pan (To T as
Tiger lily (Carla Gyemi) exuberantly
elaborates upon when she introduced

the characters erf the story the play was
a pantomime parody of the JM Barrie
Classic

Drawing similarities from the origfonal
the play adds its own twists within the
plot by referring to people in today's
popular culture, which enhances the
humor to the already established dassic
Notable performances cast members
Alexandra Hristoff(Peter Pan To), Mar¬
tin OuUette (Hook/Mr Darling), Tank
(John SheOhom) and Samantha Ed¬
wards (Shmee) need to be mentioned,
as they keep the audience entertained

toira^foautthe play with their energy.

Most importantly, the show had lots of
spots for audience participation, which
made the ambiance and experience
of die play that much more lively The
subtle expressions of actors made sit¬
uations exquisitely comedk and there
wasrft a sense of boredom as a result of
it Whether it be Tank frolicking around
toe set or Hook devising an evil plot to
capture Pm with his feBow pirates in
frustration, it was a laugh riot

Going in to toe theater, I assumed the
play would be a faithful representation

ofthe original story but it came asa sur¬
prise how develiy the cast enacted the
pb^ with thar own take on it by giving
funny snide remarks about Justin Bkber
and introducing a band which called it¬
self No Direction!* Tie actors managed
to sustain the comedic dement through
die end with toe occasional song break
adding a flavor to the play.

therein lies its strength. If was in a way

BRETTH EDGES

Sports Editor

The two-time defending National Bas¬
ketball League of Canada champions
have narrowed down their roster to 13
players ahead of the teams exhibition
game on the toad against the London
Lightning this upcoming weekend.

Windsor Express vice president of bas¬
ketball operations Bill Jones announced
he cut four of the 17 players who were
invited to the teams training camp last
week The camp opened with orienta¬
tion Dec 9 and ccmduded with an ex¬
hibition game against the Lima Express
of the Midwest Professional Basketball
Association at tbe St Oair SportsFtex
Deca

Jones said the toughest part of his job
is to cut players when they go out and
compete for jobs only to be turned away

“'Ihose players went out there and
played and Em proud of them,” Jones
said "But when you're trying to get a
team together you h
go”

NBL Canada veterans Chris Com¬
mons, Khk Williams Jr„ Adrian Moss,
Raheem Singleton and Tony Bennett
headline the roster, along with some
new faces on the squad featuring Mau¬
rice Bolden* John Hawkins, Zach Val-
1km DerekThompson and Shane Ross,

Filling out two of the four Canadian
roster spots are former Windsor Lanc¬
ers Josh Col lins and Jahmal McQueen,
who were both rookies on Windsors
diampkmship run last seasoa Unfor¬
tunately for Windsor native Rotimi
Osuntola Jr* the Express art him after
he failed to make the dress roster against
Lima.

Rounding out the roster is former Mis¬
sissauga Raptors 905 guard Shaquille
Keith, who Windsor fans saw as a vis¬
iting player during the first ever NT.L
Canada and NBA D-League exhibition
game at the WFCU Centre Nov. 9.

Coming into his fourth season with the

team, the veteran forward Commons
said be was seated to lead a group with
so much young talent selected to the
team.

“My sole purpose of this year is to pro¬
vide leadership and pass on what I have
learned,” Commons said “But that part
is going to be easy’ because I love this
teamalreadyr

In their lone chance to shine for die
Express finnt office and coaching
staff, Windsors training camp players
showed the hometown fans what they
were capable of contributing to a third
consecutive league championship. The
Express got out to sizable leads after
the first and second quarters and paced
themselves to a 108-82 victory over the
Ohio-based team, who only dressed
eight players but featured the games

high scorer with Jody HilFs 26-point ef¬
fort

Express fans saw a balanced scoring
effort from the home team throughout
the contest but it was the versatile Bold¬
en who led the way forWtndsor with 24
points. The highly touted rookie Keith
showed fans glimpses of what kind of
an impact he can be in his first season
of professional basketball with 14 points
and three defensive rebounds white
shooting six for 10 from the floor

Commons said Bolden and Keith are
perfect fits to put into place ofWindsors
championship formula.

“The game Gods are only’ going to be
good to players for so long but those two
have the game Gods on tbdr side right
now," Commons said Tm oedted for
them. Mo is a great addition and by be¬

ing here we are going to let him dowhat
he does best and Shaq is super talented
and athletic I have nothii^ but praise
for them.”

Keith, 22, will no doubt provide the
team with a highly skilled Canadian
player after the departure ofpoint guard
Gary Gibson and anafl forward Kevin
Loisdle in the off-season Playing in the
NBL Canada will give Keith a foil 40
regular season games to develop and
Boorish in this league as he sports a very
strong and balanced game coming out
of Kilgore Coll ege in east Texas.

*Thin^ didnt work out theway I want¬
ed to - hut when youre playing in die
best league in the world you team a toC
Keith said "Now I have an opportunity
here with the Windsor Express, 1 came
here to get better and develop my game

The Brampton native said his time with
the Raptors 905 raised his compete level
and believes playing against the talented
and tough players across the league will
hdp him in his goals of getting to the
NBA

“As a professional* you have to know
when to pack your spots,” Kdfh said
Tm youi^ and this is the be& way to
start off my career coming out of college
and Tm here to fine tune a few things
and maybe next year or the year after
that I can go out and live ray drams,”

Windsor travels to London for their fi¬
nal tune-up at Budwdser Gardens [Tec.

one week later when the Orangeville As

The Windsor Lancets vdleybafl reams
are in different positions in their respec¬
tive divisions but the goal remains die
same.

No matter whal the situation* womera
head coach Lucas Hod^on and meek
bench boss James Gmdfe always look
toward the overall goal of the proglam
each season - advance to theOUA play¬
offs and compete

The strategy worked wdl for the merk
squad last year, which earned the sev¬
enth playoff seed late in the season. The
term,“anything can haj^en in the play¬
offs 1 ’ was in full effect as the Lancers went
on to upset the second-ranked Ryareon
Rams in the quarter finals and advance
to the OUA Final Four for the first time
in over a decade. Windsor hdd a 2-0
lead over die York lions in the bronze
medal match but gave tip the final three
sets, missing out on an OUA medal and
a berth in the OS champfonships.

While this season has a different list of
challenges, a 2-8 start is very similar to
Windsor s position a year ago This time
there is a bevy of highly talented young
players to lead the charge in the future.

First year outside hitter Brad Gyemi
is a player the Lancer men wfflrdyon
to put up big swings in the second half

each set, coming bade to win the third
27-25 to extend the match against one
of the OU/fe top teams. Although they
dropped the match Windsor rolled
over thdr momentum to the next day
when they would get thdr first win of
the season over the RMC Paladins in
convincing foshioa

The mem team gave themselves some
hope for the second half when they
battled hard and defeated the Rams in
a five-set thriller at the St Denis Centre
Nov 28 and push thdr record to 2-8 at
the exam and holiday break

“We have to continue to get better^
Gravelle said ‘We wererit good enough
in the first half and our record reflects

that If we play like we did [against Ry

erson] then were going to have a tot of
access in the second half’

The task ahead is tough for Gravdfefc
group but this is nothk^ they havmt
been through before. Wflh 10 matches
remaining in the season, don't be sur-
prised to the scrappy Lancers nearly sptit
thdr schedule and finish the campaign
with a 6-14 or 7-13 record Unfortu¬
nately this may not be good enough for
a playoff berth, but crazier things have
happened in the world of OUA volley¬
ball

The womens volleyball team has en¬
joyed a strong start to their OUA cam¬
paign fed by a consistent offense and a

Wltidsor Lancers libero Emily Durand passes up dur ing a match against the Western Mustangs at the St.

Denis Centre Nov. 28. Ihe Lancer women's volleyball team is currently 5-4 at the holiday break and sit in

of the season Gyemi was hurt during
the first portion of their schedule and
Windsor^ offense struggled because of
it Fifih-year seniors Josh Edwards and
Shawn Resume filled the void might¬
ily for Lancers and provided some
highlight-reel folk in the process* butt
Windsor stumbled toward an 0-4 start

Gyemi returned from injury gainst the
Queejnk Gads Nov. 14 and his injection
into tlie offense was highly noticeable.
Windsor matched the Gaels firepower
in the match and was competitive in

sound defense while working their way
to a S4 record Head coach Hodgson
and his team wifl use their consistent
offense and stout defensive play to lead
than to victories once the second half of
the season begins Jan. 15.

Fifth-year setter Lauren Stirling has
been key to the consistency of thdr of¬
fense* distributing different sets to keep
opposing defenses on edge Middle hit¬
ters Shannon Dean and Emily McGo-
skey have flourished so for this season
and are a pair that every team in file

try and come out of those matches with
a victory.

The womens playoff seeding is slightly
different then the menk* as four teams
from both the East and West confer¬
ences wifl advance to the big dance.
Currently in third place in the West
behind the McMaster Marauders and
Western Mustangs, the lady Lancers
hope the second half of the season will
yidd improved results agairetihcOUAs
top squads.

erf Hodgson said “By healthier I mean
physically and mentally ready for the
second half A tot of these gjris wererit
expeetii^ this tough of a go its going to
be something thatwe wotkonf

The month of January wifl be especially
important as they have rematch op¬
portunities against McMasta and the
Gudpb Gryphons* the only two teams
to beat them besides Western. The
Lancers have the capabilities to knock
off the OUA powo^ but will need good

Should Windsor split tiiose match-ups
and survive any upsets in the second
half of the year, the lady Lancers will no
doubt be in playoff contention in file
OUA with a record hovering around
13-7 or 14-6. Once they get to that point*
it will require a relentless effort to elimi¬
nate their hopes of a tong playoff run.

The first challenge for both teams when
they return wifl be the Waterloo War¬
riors* who will visit the Sl Denis Centre

Over die weekend Bradford battled
against high-round NHL draft jacks -
including Mitch Mamer of the Toronto
Maple Leafc and Travis Koneoty of the
Philadelphia Flyers - while many scouts,
genera! managers and coaches tried to
measure up the CIS alLstais against the
next wave of NHL talent to see which
among them was also ready to hit the
pro ranks.

While pursuing the option of playing
professional hockey has crossed his
mind, Bradford said it is the least of his
worries at the moment

Empire Muscle’s “Bam Bam Boxing” Program
Opens Doors To Community Members

JEREMYJAMESFOUKAH

Lance Contributor

Local power lifting gym Empire Musde
offered a free promotioiial boxing senv
inar this past weekend to bring aware¬
ness to its newly formed program and
the positive impact the sportand fitness
in general can have on the lives of mem¬
bers of die Windsor community.

Ibgether with veteran boxing coach
and mamger Henri “Ram Bam” Guen-
ette, Empire Musde owner Andrew
Hedges transformed the extra space of
his power lifting gym to host taxing
programs and seminars available to the
community and local fighters. From 2
pm-4 pm Dec 12 Guenette trailed
and taught fundamental boxing tech¬
niques such as basic punches, footwork,
pad work, bag drifts and conditioning to
those in attendants

With the new boxing program put in
f^ace three months ^ Hedges saw the
free promotional seminar as a great idea
to bring awareness to the versatility of
the power lifting gym As for the sport
of boxii^ Hedges hopes people get an
understanding of its importance.

"1 hope people take away from this
event an understanding of what the
sport of boxing is really all about,” said
Hedges, Ttk true of any sport that you

get some misconceptions when you just
watch a sport on TV ife a very different
understanding you take away from it
when you ve actually been able to par¬
ticipate in itT

Empire Musde was founded in Feb¬
ruary 2015 and Hedges intends for the
gym to be a home for athletes to train
with equipment and benefit from an
atmosphere necessary to train for a
championship- level performance while
Guennette wants to use the nearly
founded program to develop young
taxers and athletes throughout the
community'

“Were getting a lot of young kids said
Guennette. ‘tame adults come in just to
giet in shape. It gives them a pause in M£’

Guennette is a highly experienced box¬
ing competitor with 120 bouts under

his bdt He hotds a record ot 105 wins

and 15 fosses, including two Canadian
Championship victories. He is a regis¬
tered Levd 3 taxing coach with 13 years
of experience training champion fight¬
ers throughout Windsor over the years.
Through the free seminar; Guennette
hopes to bring discipline and an under¬
standing otlxixif^ to his members and
most importantly the kids.

Td like to let them know what type of

Movie Review - TED 2

ROHAN KHAN N A

Lance Contributor

“Ted 2 W is one of fix>se sequels that sole¬
ly exist because they just want to for no
rhyme or reason As a fcifow-up to the
2012 movie ‘TED,” the sequd brings
bade the foul-mouthed, pot-smoking
bear Ted {Seth MacFarfane) and his
friend John (Mark Wahlbeig),

This time around, Ted and hh girL
friend Tami-Lynn (Jessica Barth) want

to adopt a child but the government
will not give the couple the privilege to
do so because it doesn't consider Ted
a human being. Ted and John get the
help of Samantha (Amanda Seyfned), a
lawyer who could be thdr only hope to
fight for their case. With die story rely¬
ing completely on Ted’s \ailgar comedy
complete with a fot of marijuana jokes,
the scenes Just dorit propel the story for-
w'areL It feds disjointed and MacFarfane
doesrit bring anything new. like the first

film, it is more or less the same.

With a sequd, you expect a narration
that gets evolved from an established
plot and weaves a cohesive and organic
storytdling. TED 2” makes the blunder
of not doing so and chums outa tale that
only adds to its library new and more
uncouth jokes to entertain the audience.

The barrage of jokes vomited out of the
fod-mouthed bear gets old pretty fast to
the point your brain cannot cope with
the fiknk plot and becomes numb in

the process. In the first film a handful
of laughs could be shared, but unfortu-
natriythai is not the case with TED 2”
It fads like the movie tries too hard to
make people laugh and therein lies its
fault

Lade of good humor and an interesting
ofot makes TED T a stale adventure

that is not worth anyones time and pa¬
tience. Ted is gettii^ old and is burst¬
ing at the seams. He surely needs some
repairs if he decides to make another
comeback and hopefully that should
not happen and no* the cuteness of the
furry bear wont work its diarm to make
things any better for TfcD 2T

In the opening meet of the Lanca-track
and field season. Team Blue took home
their third consecutive tide at the Blue
and Gold Inter-squad meet last wedc at
the St Denis Centre,

In an odd twist, Team Gold finished
with I >288 points while Team Hue fin ¬
ished with 1,240 points. However,Team
Blue earned the victory through their
charitable efforts, donating over 100
more canned goods than Team Gold
m supported local St Vincent de Paul

Fifth year senior mere pofe-vmftter Mi¬
los Savk said Blue and Gold is always a
fun meet and is a great way to get the
entire team together

% not so much about hitting certain
heights and times or even winning,” said
Ssvk, <f We dress up, have some laughs
and see where everyone is at with their
respective evaits, ffs simply a practice
meet for rookies to seehowwecomnpete,
and to see what our training has done so
£ar Ife agreat telltale to what we need to
improve cm to be the best' 1

Despite the laid back atirrosphere the
track was hotwith strong performances
The two day competition saw four meet
records fall* including two by distance
runner Stefenie Smith. After a suc¬
cessful cross country season where she
earned a CIS individual bronze medal
Smith said itwas nice to see her outdoor
training eflforts transfer over into good
times to begin the indoor season.

^ had to dioose betvreen tw I wi^
probably choose aoss country but I
love getting indoors and meshing with
the team and other event groups? said
Smith." I took more rest than usual after

tire aoss country season soldorit think
1 was as fit as usual comir^iitto Hue and
Gold"

Smith broke her own meet record that
she set last year in the 3,000 meters
finishing in 9:5437 and followed that
up the next day, breaking a 23-year old
record in the womens 1,500 meter set
by Michelle King in 1992 with a time of
465.42,

“The records were a surprise," said
Smith T actually was hoping fd run
maybe a bit quicker in the 3,000but was
pretty exdted about the 1500 though
The shorter, faster distances have never
been my strength so it was nice to get a
strong effort”

On the mem side, Brandon Dobson
seta new meet record in mem weight
throw with a throw of 15.67 meters
which surpassed the previous meet re¬
cord set in 2002 by Lance Montipiy of
15.45 meters while the meet also saw
four Lancers automatically qualify for
the CIS Championships in March For
thcnrnChrisWm^perfom^
480 meters in the mem pole vault bet¬
tered the CIS standard by one c^itime-
ter while Branden Wilhem easily quali¬
fied for the diampiorehips in the meifc
high Jump with a leap of 105 meters.

*"Havii^2I personal besfe over twodays
in our intersquad meet is quite impres¬
sive. I think this means that our train¬
ing is woridng? Savk said *We simply
need to keep gping and well be a force
to reckoned with Then* no guarantee
in sports but after these two days I reaOy
have high hopes for the season"

Sarah Mitton surpassed the CIS stan¬
dard of 13,78 meters in the womens
shot put, winning the meet evert with
1436 meters while fellow thrower Jor-
dana Badley-Casteflo attained the au¬

tomatic standard of 16.91 meteis in the

womens weight throw with her throw

of 1&98 meters.

Rachad Wolfe set a new meet record in
the womens pole vault by dealing 3.70
meters beating out Sarah Swairfe old re¬
cord of 3.60 meters. As a whole, Smith
praised the lewd of spiritat the meet as
weft as the performances of ha - veteran
and first year teammates

Tve talked to numerous other veterans
and we all agreed the spirit at blue and
gold this year was even more electric
than usual? Smith said. Tfe nice to see
freshman having a great meet ft can be
difficult transitioning into the Universi¬
ty life so seeing them adapt wdl to the
training Is always great to see Tin really
exdted for this season and the next cou¬
ple seasons?

would be an appropriate place to earn

tiie programs first womafe team tide
since 2011 but there is a lot of die com-
petitionacross the province^ namely the
Toronto Varsity Blues and Guelph Gry¬
phons.

“The OUA seems to get stronger and
stronger every year? Smith said. f l think
the team shows a fot of potential though
and we have the ability to improve on
last yeaif*

The mere squad is the defending OS
team champions and Savk said being

of the athletes wart to make a mark and
let the CIS competitors
come into the season with the mentality
towin again.

Randi Field is not your typical 25-year
old woman; she is a massage therapy

student and mother to her four-year
old daughter Oh - and she also just so
happens to be a Windsor-trained mixed

martial artist with aspirations of a career
in the Ultimate Fighting Champion¬
ships.

Field has been training in boxing and

mixed martial arts for the better part of

two ysirs and in the days leading up to
her amateur MMA debut at the Future

Combat Stars event at Fogular Furianin
Windsor, she said was exdted and ready
for her opportunity.

Tve been working so hard and it feds
Hke Tve been in training camp for about
six months now, Fw trained every sin¬

supported me what Fm made of

Originally trained as a boxer, Randi said
both sprat has helped her grow as an
athlete and is humbled to see the prog¬

“This sport has changed my life - ev¬
erything about rt is differenf Field said
'When I took bade and see pictures I
look at that girl and thats not the worn -
an you see before you todayT

While sparring al the Maximum
Training Centre in Windsor, Fidd was
approached by trainer Manud Alfaro
and he asked her if slid! be interested in
training to become a boxer and mixed
martial artist

“Manny is the heart and soul of this
whole operation, I was training at MTC
just doing it for tun with my dad and he
noticed I had power behind my punch¬
es,” Fidd said "When he asked me if I

was interested in fighting and I said
okay thatd be cool - but I didn't know
what 1 was signing up for.*. But its been
worth every penny and minute Fve put
into if

Fidd said the hardest part of the tran¬
sition to combat sports was the initial
commitment she needed to make every
day and admitted Alfaro suspended her
along the way

“Its either you are all in or you are out I
decided to jump in with both feet,” Fidd
said cant dedde oite dby Fm going

then I am goir^ to be serious through¬

first fight of the rest of her life, Fidd was
confident as even

'They are all beautiful and inspirational

Finally the day came for her debut and
Fidd walked into the octagon at the Fo-
golar with bad intentions for her straw
weight opponent Greta Dealing of
Phoenix, Arizona The tight wouldn't
last long liowever as Fields heavy hands
woe too much for Dealing to take. Less
than 2:30 was needed to declare Fidd

As her MMA continues, Field will have
no shortage of motivation to train and
push forward, as her daughter Ashlynn

“AsHynn motivates me every day" Fidd
said 'When Fm freaking out or going

Lancers Basketball Teams To Be
Tested In Remaining Schedule

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Windsor Lancm basketball pro¬
gram wait through a first half of the
year unseen in quite some time

Wlule both the womens and
mens teams have competitive rosters,
they have fallen to the Western Mus¬
tang eariy in the regular season and
most recently fell to the Ottawa Gee
Gees and Carietoo Ravens to dose
out their pre-exam and holiday break
schedule.

Dont get it twisted while both squads sit
at 4-3, they are not records to stick your
noseupat

This is simply a sign of how truly com-

thmg womens head coach Chantal
VaBee has seen coming.

After the graduation of Korissa WO-

tiams, Joc^yn Lamcque - who both
won five OS champtonshxps - as weft
as Kjistine Latonde* VaBee recruited
heavily and saw the Lancers go through
significant changes in the off-season.
Seven first year players wftl do their best
to mix with the Lancers veterans in an
effort to build up another roster; whkh
could capture another womens basket¬
ball national title.

VaBee was recently interviewed at a To¬
ronto Raptors game by Sportsnets Mi-
chad Grainge and said the league has
gotten better each season

*Tfs realty chaBengirg we have to com¬
pete against better and better basketball
players andcoadiesdoagreatfob across
the countryf VaBee said "We're strug¬
gling but were going to do our best to
chaBenge at the end and try to get our
sixth diampfonship, if possible."

Wrapped around their three losses was
a huge effort against the third-ranked
Ryeson Rams* when Windsor came
bade from multiple double-digit deficits
and pulled away for the 95-79 victory

Members of the Windsor Lancer womens basketball listen to instructions from head coach Chantal Vallee during a timeout against the Western
Mustangs at St Denis Centre Nov , 11, 2015. Vallee and the five-time defending C/5 champion Lancers are 4-3 at the holiday break and have 13

games remaining in their schedule*

Andrea Kiss went off for 29 points and
17 rebounds in that game and Valfee
wiB need those kinds of efforts to get
bade to the OS diampsonship tourna¬
ment before they try thdr luck at a sixth
consacutiw national title.

Easier said than done, but these women

along with a fine-tuned game prepara¬
tion to get file fob done, ft wouldnt be
a surprise to see VaBee squad to nm the
table over the next 13 games and find
themselves in a good position to com¬
pete fora provincial and national cham¬
pionship

year and his primarily yrxifii-indiioed
team has fered weH during the first sec¬
tion of file regular season. The mem
team bounced back from a loss on
home court to Western Nm II and
bounced back to sweep the Ryerson
Rams and Toronto Varsity Blues the
next week

ing leader for the team but consistent

good numbers for a player his age but
Windsor wiB need a bigger input on a
more consistent basis to make a push

ers when the first unit has needed rest

ing to be up and down all season when

most recent CIS Top 10 poll tte wom¬
en are ranked seventh while the men are
tabbed as fourth-best in the nation - a
place Steer's squad would like to bump
them off of

Neither Windsor squ^is are induded
in the CIS Top 10 at this point of file
year, whkh is a rare sight to see since
they have been regulars during the past
decade Not to be taken as a slight, tiffs
is another opportunity for the Lancers
basketball program to prove to them¬
selves - and to the rest of the country -
that no matter what year or what type of
recruiting class comes to, no game is too
big for them.

the OUA and CIS what they're made of.

A trade by Windsor Spitfires gener¬
al manager Warren Rydid snapped a
five-game losing streak this past week-
end and earned five out of a possible six
points in the process.

In the wake of dropping four consec¬
utive games and only winning one of
eigjti games, Rychd made a call to the
Barrie Gobs and acquired 19-year old
left winger Brendan Lemieux, who
was a second round NHL draft pick in
2014 by foe Buffalo Sabres and b cur¬
rently signed with the Winnipeg Jets.

Rychd felt his team needed a shot in
the arm and foe Spitfires felt Lemieuxs
NHL-caliber offensive impact right
away as the gritty forward racked up six
points on four goals and two assists in
three games.

Thewedtend began with a 4-3 overtime
loss to the Mississau^ Stedheads at the
WFCU Centre Dec 8, but bounced
back to blank foeSamta Sting 3-Oon the
road the next night on foe strength of
29 saves by Mike DiPietro and a natural
hat trick from Lexnieux. Two days lata;
Windsor capped off the weekend with
a 4-3 overtime victory over the CHLs
third-ranked team in foe Kitchener
Rangers,

Less than ax hours after foe Lemieux
trade went through, the Winnipeg Jets
product was in a Spitfires uniform and
made his presence felt by delivering
multiple body checks and collecting
three foots in one shift midway through
the first period against Mississauga.

Lemieux skated on Windsor^ top line
aforyirie right wing Christian Fisch¬
er and centre Logan Brown and head
coach Rocky Thompson said he likes
foe potential the trio have to become a
dominant line in foe QHL

"No doubt Lemieux is going to beabig
addition to this team and to the success
of this hockey dubT Thompson said
"That line is one that can compete and
be up their against any first line in fob
league I think that line is going to be im ¬
portant for us and a 1% catalyst to our
success this season and to a playoff run"

The weekend did not start out as well
as Windsor had hoped as they trailed

ing Mississauga 11-8 in the frame Af¬
ter Dan Beaudoin and Jalen Charfidd
took consecutive penalties in foe second
period foe Stedheads took a timeout
to rest their top power play unit - all of
whkh were NHL draft picks or are eli¬
gible for this selection this summer. As
Beaudoirfe penalty expired Owen Tip¬
pett whipped a wrist shot past Hug^^
for a 24) lead

Windsor kept procure in the Stedheads
zone and finished foe period with 24
total shots on goal but were unable
to solve Mississauga net minder Jack
Hina Brown scored hbshdthofthe sea¬
son assisted by Bradley Latour and Le¬
mieux oo a power play with 4:22 left in
tiie third period to cut the deficit in half
Windsor would get another power pby
opportunity less than five minutes later
and this time the new addition would
score his first goal as a Spitfire on a re¬
bound to register his second point of the
night and tie the game 2-2.

The lineup of Brown, Fischer and Le¬
mieux continued to dominate in the
offensive zone throughout foe third but

itwas a four-on-fouropportonity whkh
led to some wide open hockey with
time winding down. Windsors Aaron
Luchuk would show off of his skill set
when he picked up a roiling puck and
decked around Hinn and put the Spit¬
fires up 3-2 with 3:11 remaining in the
game

Mississauga would pull their goalie with
under 90 seconds left in regulation and
would cash in on a rebound with just a
fraction under one minute left and send
foe game into overtime with each team
having earned a point after 60 minutes
of regulation ended in a 3-3 tie Windsor
outshot Mississauga 36-21 in regulation
but would once again need an extra
frame to decide a victor. Each team had
their chances but a big save from Hugh-
son on a breakaway was shortly fol¬
lowed up by a game-winning goal from
Damian Bourne at 3:42 of overtime

“1 thought we deserved to winT Le¬
mieux said 4 *We out shot them and I
fed we played pretty wdl Obviously
I wanted to get a win in my first game
with Windsor but it wasrit in the cards.
It was a good game; we had a good team

effort I just had trouble remembering
my line-mates namesT

The next night was Windsors first of
eight meetings with the Samia Sting this
season and Thompson vailed it foe big¬
gest game of year. The Spitfires answered
their head coadfe call and snapped a
nagging, five-game losing skid in a 3-0
victory over foe Sting Dec. II.

Lemteux scored all three of his goals
in the third period after neither team
could find the back o f the net for the first
40-plus minutes. Fischer assisted on ail
three goals and three separate Spifires
defensemen - Mikhail Sergachev, Lo¬
gan Stanley and Chatfidd - aB chipped
in with an assist as Windsor moved five
points up on Samia for tap spot in the
OHIs West division.

Two days later it was Chatfiekfs seventh
goal of the season which served as the
overtime winner in foe Spitfires 4-3 vic¬
tory' over the CHIs thiiri-nmked Kitch¬
ener Rangers in front of 4610 at foe
WFCU Centre Dec. 13, Hie 19-year-
old defenseman was in perfect position
to swat home a Latour rebound which
gave Windsor its second straight win.

The confidence is back, weve been
playing good the last two weeks,” Chat-
fidd said **We just wererit getting any
bounces but this week we did"

The Spits took a 2-0 lead into the
dressing room after 20 minutes on the
strer^fo of goals by Cristiano DiGiadn-
to and Gabriel Vikrdi in a 32-second
span of the opening period After goals
by Darby Uewefiyn and Gustaf Franzen
got the Rangers bade even at 2-2, La¬
tour capitalized on a Lemieux rebound
putting the Spits up 3-2 with a power
ptay marks- at 15:31 of foe second pe¬
riod Ryan Madnnis scored Kitchener
to force overtime, setting the stage for
Chatfietcfe heroics,

DiPtetro made 27 saves for the win and
Inke Richardson made 26 saves but
took foe toss while Kitchener dropped
to 23-3-4

The Spits will next see action when they
balde with the Saginaw Spirit at foe

There are lots of resources online for

New year, new you; were two weeks into
2016, are you tired of seeing this Me
mantra yet? If you are, you re not done.

You might have noticed for the last tew
years, it really seems like New \fear$
Resolutions are on a steep dedine. I
certainly have* Maybe it has something
to do with the feet that a grand total of
dgfrt per cent of people actually follow
thioi^b with thdr resolutions and
complete them, according to Forbes*
com Surprised? Meneither,

In fact lots of people haven! bothered
to make any this year* Oh perhaps they
have, but more to themselves, and less
on an alLor-nothing public scale

Its a natural human indination to try to
better oneself after certain things M to
the wayside in life. ft happens to every¬
one Temporary life changes like theses

Eventually, the time comes when we
want to rectify some of the things out of
place in our lives.

Say it with me that day does not have to
be New Years Day!

However, if you see New Years Day as a
great day for you to change your habits,
or jump into some new pastimes, thafs
awesome and tbaes absolutely nothing
wrong with it

For those of you who areht concerned
with a timeline to better yourself; thafs
totally great too

The only thing that should matter in the
case of serf-improvement is die inspi¬
ration to do it The dale and length erf
time it takes doesn’t matter in the grand
scheme of things,

Realistically speaking a date on the
calendar should not make you fed tike

comes down, its cold-thal makes a lot
of common resolutions tike going to the
gym and buying healthy groceries super
hard

Additionally, it means were forcing our¬
selves to undergo a big change we may
not necessarily be ready to beginner
in some cases, complete at all-based
on that calendar dale* The pressure of
starting and completing a goal within a
year, or constantly keeping tabs on it in
the bade of our minds, can be extreme¬
ly stressful and hard on our self-esteem
when we’re not meeting our goals as we
would like to be

If you have any land of goal setting in
mind for the days, months, and yearf s)
ahead, theres something very important
)roushouMknow

There is a theory behind why resohi-

Resdutions feB under both of those
categories. Making a resolution to “eat
healthier’’ or "lose weight” without any
more specific timelines or flexibility
sounds absolutely daunting-and is, es¬
pecially if its going from a sedentary life¬
style to working out four days a week at
the gym to lose weight rfs just not prac-
tical to expect it from ourselves.

Now, what has been shown to succeed
are smaller, more defined goak> whkh
for some may contribute to that big¬
ger picture of eating healthier or losing
weight From a research standpoint,
this is the way toga Insteadon will eat
healthier this year? a goal like Twill eat
one piece of fruit a da/' is much more
reachable and reasonable than a com¬
plete diet overhaul*

Starting on a smaBer scale and build¬
ing up from those lfttfe steps is the key

approaches to take to starting a change
within yourself or even outside yourself
in your immunity*

Lastly, if you’re not into resolutions or
goal setting for yourseif dials total¬
ly fine As you may Irave figured out,
there are no Resolution Mice coming
around to make sure you’re cutting
down on your spending and Skyping
your parents more than you did in 2015.

Sdfchanging goals are amazing and

New Year, New Policies

HAN I YASSIN E

Arts Editor

With the New Year inspiring people to
make resolutions and charges, the Ca¬
nadian government is making some
changes of its own on a national and
provincial standpoint

In effect since Jan 1, student loan pro¬
grams nationwide will no longer be
reducing support to working students
for every dollar they earn beyond $100
perweek On top of allowing students to
save a little bit extra into their accounts,
this is essentially the first step in the
governments efforts to lessen financial
strains for those currently on or seeking
student bans More information can be
found on canteamca.

Another policy change is in effect only
in Ontario^ yet it has proven to be a tat
more contusing. Drivers and cyclists are
now required to yield the entirety of foe
mad at school crossings and pedestrian
crossovers. Its natural for one to assume
the crossovers apply to just about any

standard intersection However ifs im¬
portant to keep in mind its not the same
thing as a crosswalk.

“There® crossways and foeres cross¬
walks, For example our crosswalks at
the intersection of Sunset and Wyan¬
dotte aren’t induded in the new kwf
said Mike MacKinnon, director of
Campus Police Services, “ftk not cross¬
walks like we have on campus here 16
those pedestrian crossovers that have
that over-hanging yellow light”

MacKinnon went on to say there are
very few crossovers around thedty itself
As a result it doesrit apply to students in
the area. But for anyone who drives or
cydes, violation of the new policy results
in a fine between $150 and $500 on top
of three demerit points on your license
In this case, ifs always important to keep
attention to any pedestrian and school
crossings if you find yourself traversing
anywhere within Ontario

More information can be found chi the
Ontario Ministry of Transportaioris

website.

Students walk the crosswalk at the corner of Sunset and Wyandotte . This is not the same thing as a pedes¬
trian crossover, which has been subject to a new provincial policy change where drivers and cyclists must
yield the entirely of the road to pedestrians whenever there's a school crossing or pedestrian crossing sign.

Movie Review - Star Wars:
The Force Awakens

ROHANKHANNA

Lance Contributor

A breath of fresh air is what one can
best describe “Episode VII: The Force
Awakens,” After the debacle Jar far
Binks and the prequels that scarred the
lives of Star Wars fens across the globe.
EpisodeVII is the best possfcksequdto
the original trilogy and a love letter for
tans, accompanied by beautiful visuals
and characters ina galaxy for, for away.

ft has been 30 years since the Battle of
Endor> Darth Vader defeated by Luke
Skywalker and the Galactic Empire
derimafced by the Rebel Alliance, the
First Order has risen from the rem¬
nants of foe ruined evil Empire Princess
Leia (Carrie Fisher) is now a General
and is part of the Resistance in search
of ha- brother Luke Skywalker (Mark

HamiR) who has disappeared under
mysterious drcumstances. In tliese tu¬
multuous times in the galaxy, foe new
face of the Sifo, Kyfo Ren is leading the
storm troopers to acquire foe coordi¬
nates that wffl lead him to Skywalkerk
location In his endeavors, Finn (John
Boyega) > a storm trooperwho questions
his position within the Older and Rey
(Daisy Ridley), a scavenger who wan¬
ders without aim on the planet of Jakku
grt caught up in foe affair and pave the
story forward for the inevitable sequels.
Along foeir Journey they come across
Han Solo and his copilot Chewhacca,
and together the party dodging through
the dutches of the Order go on a galactic
escapade,

I^aurels must be handed over to J. J.
Abrams, the director of the movie He
has managed to mold this popular cul¬

tural icon into creating an interesting are
and foroughout foe narration you see
that every sequence has been produced
for foe screen with care The vision that
George Lucas had created in theor^pnal
trilogy got lost in the prequels because
of its bad dialogues, acting and the pro¬
gression of the story The Force Awak¬
ens has managed to safely put aside all
that negative baggage and conjured a
much-needed reinvigoration for the
franchise

East paced slick action sequences and
the return of old iconic characters are

just the tips of the icebergwhen it conies

* ■

to the film. Every character like a new
Droid BB-8, the Resistance pilot Poe
Dameron (Oscar Isaac) in a minor role
and notable perfoimaiices given by Rid¬
ley and Boyega show what foe prequels
were lacking, a conviction towards foe

characters they are playing That de¬
ment has been translated for foe screen
beautifully.

Seeing foe older cast is an king on the
cake and they have not just been shoe-
homed to give nostalgic moments to
fena They exist because they havea sto¬
ry to tdl The passing of age has dianged
them Things have not been foe same
after foe Battle of Endor and you can
see that reflect through the actions and
emotions exhibited by Soto, I^eia and
Skywalker

Abrams is known for narratives being
too fast paced at times (Star Tkk), but

ens has been well padded out creating
a balance between characterization and
action, a perfect fusion of foe two

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has
similar undertones like “The New
Hope,” but that aspect establishes foe
characters in foe Star Wars universe
and propels foe story forward ft lias
nostalgic moments and moments of
awe ft has the ingredients of what Star
Wars should be and it is a moment of
triumph for Abrams to give life to it It
is a story of characters that are real and
break foe barriers of fiction they resick
in and somehow in afloffob, foe humor
is never lost, and that makes the film a
“force” to be reckoned with

Movie Review - The Hateful Eight

order to reach the better compelling

GRANTjONSSON

l have a tricky rektioaship with Quentin
Tarantincfe films, I love them, rite ones
that I have seen al least, and yet there is
a strange hesitation that occurs for me
when tire subject of watching his latest
or re- watching one of his dassks comes
up. This did not char^ for Tarantinofc
eighth studio film; “The Hateful EightT
as the initial interest mdfor excitement
was not immediately present When
the trailer premiered a few months back
and I finished watching M was disap¬
pointed Not much excitement seemed
to exist within this film What makes
a Tarantino film such an awesome
experience is that once I commit to
watching one, the hesitation I felt simply
evaporates away, and again, this did not
change for “The Hateful EighlT I was
happy to be proven wrong byTarantino
once again.

This is a different type of film for the
filmmaker In the press leading up to the
films release, Tarantino has said many of
his influences came from the westerns
of the midT90Ck That influence is ev-
id ent mostly in the overall pacing of the
film Tarantino has always tinkered and
experimented with pacing but here he
elects for a timed bomb with a very slow
bum string and it absolutely'fits the nar¬
rative be is presenting

'Hie film takes place a tew years after
the end of the Civil War where John
Ruth 'The Hangman" (Kbit Russell), a
bounty hunter, is heading to Red Rode
with prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jenni¬
fer Jason Leigh) to have her stand trial
and hang for her alleged crimes. Along
the way they meet up with Major Mar¬
quis West (Samuel L Jackson) a fellow
bounty hunter and former solkferinthe
CM War with a few bounties to col¬
lect on his own. As wdL Chris Mannk

(Walton Goggins) Joins the trio claim¬
ing he is the new sheriffofRed Rock To
escape an oncoming blizzard, they head
to Minnies Haberdashery' where they
run into four other individuals sharing
in the establishments warm resources,
Que the stow burning string to quicken
ever so slightly more and more as noth¬
ing is truly as it seems.

What is perhaps nsDst strange though
is that the films greatest strength is also
its dear weakness. The movie conies
very dose to a three-hour runtime and
it is Tarantinos most dialogue heavy
production. Characterization becomes
the key within the script very quick*
ly as Tarantino dedicates the time to
filling out the lives and backstories of
each individual hded up at Minnie^
Haberdashery, ft is quite the tocredMe
accomplishment as, in my mind, Taran¬
tino and his actors succeed in provid¬
ing complete vrf-iounded characters.

Somewhere dose to the midway point
oflhe film I asked my buddy sitting next
to me, 'Who do you trust right now?"
and I asked because I wasn't sure who
I should be trusting. I was constantly
curious about the motivations and in¬
tentions of each character and I had to
question and re-question the happen*
ing^ of the plot in order to reevaluate
what it was I was actually anticipating.
This focus on characterization leads to
some incredible storytelling payoffs in
the final act, however there were times,
particularly in the first hour of the film,
where exposition became the subject it¬
self This lead to seme moments fading
overburdened and simply boring, Sto¬
rytelling reigns supreme overall thot^Ji
and these moments of ovemhance on

moments. A notable highlight scene is
a monologue for Samuel L Jackson that
will shock you and make you laugh in
the same breath.

"The Hateful Eigjhf is not Tarantinos
best film, but ft is perhaps one of his
most interesting> and almost certainly
one of his most captivating. His dia¬
logue, while heavy handed in spots, is
still Just as crisp and free flowing as ever
and his actors (some Tarantino veterans,
some newcomers) are more than up to
rite task of bringing his complicated
characters to life. Fm not sure what it
was I was entirely expecting going into
this movie; but Fm more than satisfied
with how I felt about it when I left the
cinema.

LaSalle Based Writers Launch

GRANTJONSS0N

Lance Contributor

"The Big Short" surprised me in a lot
of ways. Its formal, presentation, and
organization g> agtinst the image of
what a film traditionally looks life To
put it plainly a large chunk of the film
is dedicated to giving a fourth wait
breaking explanation of the financial
terms being floated around during the
period this film is dealing with. That pe¬
riod b the few years before the eventual
US economy crash of2008 that, as this
film demonstrates, began in part due
to the housing market crashing first
If you were to ask me, “what does this
film do?” I would simply tdtt you that it
tries to explain how and why toe hous¬
ing maiket foiled in United Stated The

the wit stemming from Adam McKay's
script and style match abundantly wdl

AT first gjance, the attempts to explain
things to you, toe audience, directly
may seem a bit in your free (literally)
and preachy in a way but when the
surprise of toe format wears off, wbai
remains is a compelling dramedy that
refuses to let society off the hook for
deciding to not pay attention* While
McKay and his saeenwritir^ partner
Charles Randc%to do point toe finger
at the corporations responsible for eco¬
nomic destruction, they arerit afraid to
expose toe opposir^ view that suggests
the everyday individual is not being as
observant as they could or should be;
toe focus lajgdy stays on toe corpora¬

tions though One of the reasons this
format proves to be so successful is due
to the character of Jared Vennett played
by Ryan Gosling* Goslir^ provides all of
fire exterior exposition and is the only
who directly speaks to the screen. He
acts as a sort of reality show host, a guide
that brings us along for a very needlessly
complicated ride through recent history.

This breaking the fourth wall aspect
allows toe comedy of the film to enter
more naturally Tenns like subprime
mortgages, ooflateralized debt obliga¬
tions (CDOs) and synthesized CDGs
bombard the language and then Gos-
ling comes in and flips a switch. “Ks pret¬

With students heading bock to dassesto
contendwith the second half of their ac¬
ademic year } both the Sdiool of Creative
Arts and University Players are gearing
for the second half of their respective
seasons.

Hie first half of the current SoCA Pres¬
ents season featured highlights such
as the Project Trio residency and the
Christmas concerts, whkh served as a
fitting holiday condusioa Utile time
is being wasted in making a return, as
SoCA alumni wiS soon be collaborating
with the Windsor Symphony Orchestra
and Artdte Windsor for the upcoming
Winter Celebration.

“The Winter Celebration is something
newT said SoCA marketing and pub¬
licity coordinator Susan Mckee 'This
is the first time weve collaborated with
the Windsor Symphony Orchestra and
Artcite for something like this.”

Occurring on Jan. 16, the Winter Cde-

brafian is one part a W30 coOaboratson
at the Capitol Theatre. There will also
be a visual arts component, as alumni
students in the field will be showcasing
their work on the same day, with the
exhibit running until Feh 27. Anoth¬
er highlight of the season will be the
resdency of Alan Vizzutti, a world-re¬
nowned trumpet player who will hold
a masterclass and concert with the uni-
versitys wind and jazz ensemble come
the beginning of April

While little is set in stone right now for

visual arts events, Mckee said the LeB-

d group will have a few shows up their

sleeves within the next few months, pos¬
sibly cdlaborating with the Art Gallery
of Windsor over this time. Ultimately,
Mckee hopes the season will be keeping
its momentum of delivering memora¬
ble events all while furthering the en¬
lightenment of residing SoCA students

'With the different artists and musicians
that were able to bring in, it just enriches
and ks anotiw opportunity for
to get additional inspiratfon
but outside of the classroom," Mckee

Whik they dorit have as many events

under their calendar; University Pay¬
ers is also hard at work as they begin to

tadde the last three shows of their 57th
season. According to marketing coor¬
dinator Anna Gaika, the last semester
was subject to overwhelmin^y positive
response, noting the glowing recqrtion
from their most recent comedic pro¬
duction “ScapinoT They hope to keep
the ball idling upon shifting bade to
drama with the upcoming “An Experi¬
ment With an Air Pump"

Tfs a bit of science; its a bat erf mystery
Gaika said It has a Me bit more of an

intellectual aspect to it, because its arc¬
ing the question of how far you wuid

go for the sake of science”

Gaika said rehearsals with “Air Pump"

began before Christmas and theyre
staying pre-emptive as preparations for
next years season are already under¬
way. Following the scientific drama, the
group will then move on to the bitter¬
sweet “Dancing at Lughnasa" and will
oondude with the period comedy “The
Double Dealer

Gaika has also noted an increase in gen¬
eral student awareness and attendance,

whidi has been credited towards the

promotion efforts done by the younger

dramatic art students. While its a tong-
term process in the making, Gaika finds
the awareness to be a step in the right
direction as they keep to the goal of pro¬
viding strong theatrical work

“Us always our goal, to produce high
quality, high caliber productions, and do
Justice to the type erf productions w^ve
selected" Gaika said

“An Experiment With an Air Pump"
will premiere at the Essex Hall Theatre

The Bank Refunds More Than 400 Tickets
To Cancelled New Year’s Eve Party

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

New Years Eve is a busy time for many
and sometimes things fell through.

This is especially true for multi-dub
and bar owner Pairidc Kim who had
to shut down The Bank M^itkhib after
building it up to be the place to be for the

A bailiffs notice which was left on The
Rankfc door prior to Christmas, stated
the owners of the establishment owed
their landlord, Dante Capaldi, nearly
$120*000 m rent and fees.

According to a statement of daim is¬
sued Jan. 5 by The Bank, around Dec
30, they received a notice from fhdr
landlord they would need to meet “fi¬
nancially extraneous conditions” in¬
cluding a payment of SKXOOO, 100 per
eamofaQlkf^ were to

be paid to the province of Ontario, The
Bank would have to pay the bailiff for
his attendance at the event and the dub
would have to make anew lease agree¬

ment for the next five years.

The agents and owners of The Bank
stated in their daim “ „ foe imposition
of foe foregoing terms was tantamount
to extortion, and is an exemplification
of foe high-handed* malidous, callous,
inequitable, arbitrary and perverse con¬
duct of Ontario and for partkuiadyCa-
paldi in its dealings with tte plaintiff in
this regard"

However, Kim said they had agreed via
e-mailed correspondence to meet these
terms Dec 30, “in an effort to avoid an
incident whkh would dearly be cata¬
strophic to the plaintiffs goodwi and
reputation,” as stated in foeir daim.

The following day, Capakii added fur¬
ther terms to be met if the The Bank
wished to be open for their New dear's
Eve party" whkh induded an immediate
payment of $20,000, $200 per hour paid
to the bailiff for his attendance, liquor
sales revenue acknowledgement of the
previously menttonedoutstaiidirg rent,
as well as proof of insurance,

Rrithermom the daim states The Bank
did everything they could to remain

open but the added terms kept comii^
and itwas very hard for them to keep up
with it all

Kim said he hopes foe statemmt of
daim is able to darify the situation to all
with any questions.

“I want to let everyone know that all
tickets that were purchased were re¬
funded by me personally before mid¬
night;* said Kim <f We did all we could
to open and it was such an unfortunate
drcumstance that we could not”

The daim said over400 ticketswere pre¬
sold for the event bid Kim said it was
made near impossible for them to stay
open especially after Capaldi and his
jpoup stopped responding to any forms

Graduating Acting Class
Offers Sneak Peak Showcase

HANIYAS5INE

Arts Editor

One by one, 19 University Hams actors
took die stage. Yet none were in cos*
tome, and the lights never dimmed

Halfway through their conclusive year,
the graduating BFA Acting da© came
together for a performance showcase,
which was open to the public on the
afternoon of Jm 10 at the Hatch Studio
Theatre. Considered as a rite of pas¬
sage for the up and coming actors, the
showcase serves as a prologue to when
the da© present their skills to up to 100
industry professionals at the Next Gen¬
eration Showcase in Toronto, ft would
essentially project them to the next stage
of thdr fesh cairns As a result, the
showcase on campus was created in the
vainofatriaL

"Its almost like another rehearsal for
them,” said Dramatic Art Director Tina
PugUese. Theyte in a momentum,
they re in a flow right now”

The actors are given throe minutes to
perform two different monologues in

front of professionals ranging from cast¬

ing directors to agents. Part of the acting
showcase is a product of a dass, which
teaches the graduating gro up how to
sustain in the business, as well as net¬
working tips which would hdp provide
a leg up following graduation.

With the showcase reprosentmgtheai-
mination of thdr training, therms added
pressure and heightened nervousness in
the ak But at least one actor is looking at
the nerves in a more positive light

“If fm not nervous, I dorifc fed fm do¬
ing my job right Nerves keep you on
your toes,” said Emerjade Simms, who
performed in this seasons 'Anna in the
ImpicsT and will be performing in foe
upcoming 'An Experiment With an Air
Pump!'

The actors are expected to have nearly' a
dozen audition pieces ready at any giv¬
en lime For Simms, the pieces chosen
are based on diversity and contrasting
tones to ensure an actor's versatility in
the spotlight

For fellow fourth year Brian Haight, who
starred in foe University Players' most
recent production ‘‘ScapirtoT the choos¬
ing comes to how each piece speaks to
him on a personal levd Haight found

“As any theatre piece is, you always want

The actons will be leaving for Toronto

Brendan Aymer and Rachel Tremblay
wereoneof many couples to attend a re¬
cent wedding expo, visiting vendors to
yield a few extra ideas to implement for
fodr wedding in September. A day over
two years in the making, their reason for
the coniniitment was simple.

T&only one dayT Ayroer said

‘Ttbu remember it for the rest of your
lifeT Tremblay continued

Mora than 100 vendors spanning ewer
a dt®en services came together for the
16th annual Wedding Odyssey which
was held on the Jam 9 weekend at the
Goriaro Guk Be it focal, regional or
provincial, there was plenty of options
available for couples looking to have

their wedding customized down to the
last detail.

brides sometimes don t know what to
do. They search out each vendor kind
of like an interview process,” said event
director Laura Tibem. Tfe kind of like a
one slopshop*'

You had several vendors, which focused
on lavish wedding decor Thera were
focal dothing outlets, which had tuxe¬
dos and wedding gowns on display and
ready to catch the eye. Not to mention
a slew of video production companies
and photography services, or perhaps
if couples want to make the day extra
memorable, they can go on a trolley
tour around various wineries or brewer¬
ies within Windsor-Essex.

‘The ■ tdding parties like it because
ift very unique and nostalgic,” said Bill
Baker, owner and operator ofthe Wind*
sor-Essex Trolley Tour

With several of the vendor services

overlapping each other, it brings a great
wealth of options for couples who may
be fesdnated by the more minute as¬
pects of the ceremony To an extent,
this is reflected on some of the vendors
themselves, particularly with the Wine-
craft winemaking company who spe-
dalize in providing anywhere between
200 and 300 different flavors for wed¬
ding wines.

"They get to come in and they get to
choose from a long list of different kinds
of wines that they can make,” said Wrne-
cralt owner Jim Ryan “TheyTl choose
the one thafs going to compliment the
meal the best, or their particular fevor-
iter

The expo was also accompanied with a
fashion show, which occurred on both
day^s of the event Another wedding
show is set to happen yet again at the

Windsor Arena Jaa 9. With the win,
the Blue & Gold improve to 10-7-2 on
the year and are now in a three-way tie
for second place with the Guelph Gry¬
phons and Western Mustang?,

lancers head coach Kevin Hamlin said
it was a good response game after drop
ping a 4-0 decision the York Lions at
heme the night prior

"We had a good rebound pme led by
our goaltender? Hamlin said "We got
into a Me bit of penalty trouble but we
were able to pull off some big kilk Your
bestpenalty killer is your gpaitenderand
he certainly made some big saves today
during those times,”

The Badgers opened the scoring on a
power pfay goal 352 into the first period
when Skytar Pacheco and Mitch Nar-
di setup Josh Timpano who put it past
Doan for 1-0 lead Windsor trailed for
the duration of the first and a majority
ofdie second before takingadvantage of
a Badger penalty with six minutes kft in
the second

Windsor would make the most of

their opportunity and even the game
1-1 when Justice Dundas and Dane
Phaneuf found Eric Nod at the side
of the net, who then buried home his
eighth goal of the campaign with a
power play marker The Lancers would
quiddyniakeit2-l with 2:58 left in the
second as Tyler Ness decked around
Brock goalie dim Windsor and tucked
it into the net for his seventh goal of the
season, with his line mates Nod and
Dundas also both picking up the assists

"After getting shutout players start the
question themsdves but 1 knew our
power play and special teams would
get bettor as time wore on? said Ham¬
lin. “We ve been off for 30-plus days and
thati a long time. But our penalty kill
got better as the game went on and our
power play got bettor and our five-cm-
five play was stdkr Even against York
I thought it was great: and it was bettor
tonight 1 ’

It took just 2S seconds into the third
period for Ness to strike once again and
give the Lancers a 3-1 lead. Brock cut
the lead to one at 8:23 of the third as An¬
drew Coupland and Dan Tand setup
Greg Jambroskh fir his second goal of
the season

With the Brock goalie pulled for the ex¬
tra-attacker and lots of traffic in front of

ihenet, Windsors MikeChristou made

ihe play of the game when he laid down
in front of a Badger slap shot from the
point Christods sacrifice would pay off
shortly after as Dylan Denomme picked
up a loose puck in the neutral zone and
secure the win with an empty netter

win and that was certainly something
we needed from him at the time"

Ness applauded Christous courage and
said the I ancers are going to need more
efforts like that to be able to win dose

Ness said “If everybody keeps doing

that well be winning a lot more games.
You get a couple bumps and bruises but
it was a good pick me up for everyone 13 '

Doan turned aside 40 shots to earn the
win for file Lancers while Windsor re-

for the Badgers,

The Lanem will hit the road next

Quick Start Propels Lady Lancers
Hockey Team To Victory Over UOIT

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Lancer womens hockey team start¬
ed 2016 with awdbeamed victory over
the UOIT Ridgebacks at South Wind¬
sor Arena this past weekend

Shawna Lesperanoe and Krystin Law¬
rence both had three-point perfor¬
mances and Ingrid Sandven picked up
her fourth win in goal for Windsor as
they look to move up the QUA stand¬
ings over the final 11 games of the reg¬
ular season.

The win is the Lancers third in a row
and they now sport a 3-S-l record while
the Ridgebacks fa! to file exact same re¬
cord Windsor head coadi Jim Hunter
said he was proud of hb team for step¬
ping up with a big win white statir^ the
importance of the next five games if
they want to move up the standings and

reach thdr goal of a spat in the OUA
playofik

"These are games that we should win if
we pky our game and we need to take
advantage of that” said Hunter “We
carft make too many mistakes in the
earfy part of the second half We cant
afford any mistakes coming down the
stretch?

The Lancers found thdr scorir^ touch
quickly in the first period After the vis¬
itors took an earty penalty the Lancers
opened the scoring at 1:49 on the power
play with a goal by Natalie Barrette with
assists being credited to Rachel Chantler
and JIB Rops, The Lancers then extend¬
ed thdr lead a mere 30 seconds later
when the rookie Lesperance and file
veteran Erinn Noseworthy set up the
sniper Lawrence to give Windsor a 2-0
lead

The same line would strike once again
seven minutes later when Lesperance

and Noseworthy onoe again set up Law¬
rence for her second of the game and
seventh erf the season whidi gave the
hosts a three goal lead midway through
the frame

T thought we came out flying? Law r -
rence said "We got throe quick goals in
the first paiod which was exactly what
we needed”

The Ridgebacks got one back at 11:14
on a goal by Meek Gorda to dose out
the first but the [.ancers started the
second period just like they started the
first- fast Windsor managed to score 24
seconds into the frame with Lesperance
earning her third point erf the game and
seventh goal of the season. Just over a
minute later the Lancm extended (heir
lead to 5-1 an a goal by Davis Smfth
with assists credited to Taylor Sheppard
while Lawrence also picked up a helper
to give her a three-poirti night

*T thought the first and second period

were the best two periods weve put
together back-to-back this season?
Hunter said “We were very strong and
mentally into the game but in the third
period it was the exact opposite. We sat
on a 5-1 lead and then dkfo’t play very
wdT

After that the Ridgebacks mounted a
mini comeback in the back half of the
third period with a pair of goals from
Kasside Nauboris and Teresa Homer
but despite their effort it was not good
enough to overcome the Lancers ear¬
ly offensive power Contender Ingrid
Sandven once a^in picked up fire wm
for the Lancers and made 25 saves along
the way.

tr We worked hard as a team, got into
some penalty trouble which cost us a
few goals but we stayed in it and got
the win;' Lawrence said "It was a great
start to the second half erf the season es~
pedafly with the position we are [-at] in

file standings. Every game we play from
nowon is do or die for us but I bdieve
with the talent and hard work from the
girls, we will be making some upsets
andI definitely think we will be making
those playoffs?.

Hunter said there were a lot of positives
to take from the game but stated the
Lancm have tobe better at holding onto
a lead to be prepared for file stiff com¬
petition thnxigboutthe OUA schedule

Ttar ib to win three in a row and beat a
couple of good teams has let us build up
our confidence? said Hunter ""Now we
just need to build off that and see if we
can go on a Me run here to get us back
tothe^ayoffhunL”

The next challenge for Ihe Lancers will
be the Ryerson Rams in a night game
at South Windsor Arena fare 15. Af¬
ter thdr match-up with ftyerson the

The newly acquired overage enforcer
Connor Chatham picked up an as¬
sist and used a couple of 1% hits to get
myself into a rhythm in his first game
as a Windsor Spitfire. Chatham came
over from the Flint Firebirds in a trade
sending the 6T! 23o lbs. power forward

to Windsor along with a second and
fourth-round draft pick in exchange for
the oft-used Luke Kirwaa

Tm still getting used to the system
so when that becomes second nature
the offence will come” said Chatham
‘They have had a kit of success so Tm
looking to buy in here and get used to

it I played to Plymouth for a while and
we were rivals with them for a number
of games so Fve had my dust-t^s with
some of these guys but Tm very excited
to come to an organization like this thats
a proven winner and a team thats really
going for it this year “

Chatham got to show off his offensive

skills when he sniped a power-play
tally past Cote netmtoder MaKenrie
Blackwood for an early 1-0 lead which
Windsor bdd at the end of the first peri¬
od Barrie came out with a vengeance in
the second period and qukkly tied the
game on Andrew Mangiapanes 20th of

ke then gave the Cote a lead they would
not relinquish when he scored on a feed
from forma - Spitfire Anthony Stefono.
Blackwood finished with 32 saves to
Barries 24th victory of the season

Windsor had little time to reflect on
their loss as a date with Oshawa & the
General Motors Genre homed the
next evening The Generals are fighting
for a playoff spot to the OHL eastern
conference and played with intensity
but were unrewarded during a scoreless
first period Oshawa would open the
scoring to the second period when Ken
Huether finished off Anthony Cireflis
pass on a two-on-one opportunity for a
I -0 lead midway through the frame

After being shutout for the first 37
minutes of the game, Windsor took
advantage of an Oshawa penalty and
scored on the power play with Mikhail
Seigachev bombing a slap shot fern
high slot to tie the game LI. The Spits
pressed with under one minute to go in
the feme and thdr strong defense led
to a Generals turnover whse Fischer
would finish off a Vilardi setup for his
19th goal‘of the season for a 2-1 lead
with under 15 seconds to go before to-

The Spitfires continued thdr strong play
as Hayden McCool and Vilardi pudied

Fischer and Vilardi both finished with

The Windsor Lancer track and fidd
team kicked off 2016 in style with a
number of impressive perfoffrnanoes at
the 55th Can Am Classic this weekend
at the St Denis Centre.

The two-day meet saw a new school re¬
cord set, a new indoor peraonal best and
three Lancets qualify for the national
championships in March.

After suffering an injury and missing
out on competing last season, Lanc¬
er thrower Jordana Badley-Costello
made a big impression at the meet by
setting a new record in the womens
weight throw with an impressive toss
of 1795 meters and surpassing the CIS
auto-standard by over one meter Bad-
ky-Cbstdfo placed second in the event
behind Ifcrks Brittany Crew; who has
represented Canada at multiple interna¬
tional events and set a new meet record
with a throw of 13,10 meter*

Chris Waugh and Milos Savic both
qualified for the GS trade and field
championships in the mens pole vault
by dearirg the auto-standard of 479
meters and placing first and second in
the event

Waugh said it was a great day for Wind¬
sors vmifterc overall but he Mt very
focused and determined to punch his
ticket to CIS once again.

*1 knew throughout die week that once
the competition mode was turned on
my jumpir^ would be more powerful
and my speed down the runway is al¬
ways fester, so I knew bigger poles would
be needed” Waugh said “My jumps at
494 metm Mt like a tryout with my

new pole and making adjustments was
difficult but my third attempt I man¬
aged to pull together a solid jump and
get my hip hd^it much higher, though
I knocked the bar off with my chest?

Waugh admitted he was a little disap¬
pointed he didn't get a personal best
because he feels he is capable of jumping
higher Ilian five meters, but was very
happy with winning die competition
and having training partner Savie right
there beside him jumping high as usual

"1 am excited to compete alongside
him, we fove to push each other to jump
higher? Waugh said “Alt in all this will
be a fun season of huge jumps and no
pressure to make standard, 1 think 1 can
attack big heights that used to be terrify¬
ing when 1 was younger?

On the womens side, Rachel Wdfe set
a new indoor personal best in womens
pole vault with a height of 378 meters
and placed second overall in the event.
Wolfe didn't end up clearing tire CIS
auto standard but said it was encour¬
aging to hit a personal best at an eariy
meet

“I attempted the height (3,88) and was
weD over it by 20 centimeters but came
down on die bar at the end;" Wolfe said
“l did up dealing 378 meters which was
an indoor personal best You can never
be mad with a personal best especially
with the first meet of the season. It just
means theres big things to come this
season”

Wolfe added she was exdted for her next
meet since she had cleared but a
small error made her knodt the bar off

"I watched a couple videos after and its
reassuring knowii^ fm there, so theres
no pressure m dear this height soon?

Wolfe said 'The competition this year is

very motivating. Vfomempdevaulthas
a very stadoed fidd lids year and I love it
Good competition always pushes me to
be the best lean be. I think for OUA and
CIS ife gonna come down to whofe cm
their game and who finishes the com-
petffion with the least faults”

IhreeofiierLancera captured gold med¬
als over the two-day event, beginning
with Branden Wilhelm who placed first

in the mens high jump with a height of

205 meters. Akx Ullman placed first in
the metis 1,000 meters with a time of

WMHA Showcases Hockeys Heritage During
4th Annual Rick Murdoch Outdoor Classic

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Windsor Minor Hockey Associ¬
ation brought dozens of food children
mi thdr femilks together to embrace
an old hockey tradition during the 4th
Annual Rkk Murdoch Outdoor Classic
at Lanspeary Raik this patf weekend

WMHA president Dean Lapteire said
it is good for the kids to be able to play
hockey outdoors, although he joked
there has only been one fault at each
outdoor classic so fer.

“Unfortunately, every year we have it, it
snows? laughed Lapterre. “But it makes
the kids a^redate playing bade at
South Windsor Arena next and telling
his dad how $eat it is to have a roof and
som: h eat”

Laptene said the homage the games
heritage and ife importance to the
community is the reason why WMHA
named the event after Murdoch who

began coaching back in 1975, Lapkrre
added seeing parents talk about their
experiences year after year gives even
more reason forWMHA to bring hock¬
ey outside ^in next year-even jiist for
one day

T grew up here and [Lanspeary Park]
Is where I learned to skate Wfe used to
come eariy and if you helped the guy
shovel he would tex you fiay for free?
Lapierre said ‘K)nce they did the im¬
provements we thought it was a great
opportunity to do something so we
named it after Rick, a guy who has ded ¬
icated so much time to hockey, he can
say he coached people 50-yeais old”

A proud Rkk Murdoch had nothing
but praise for the City of Windsor for
covering up the Lansprary Park ke rink
and also to the Windsor lions Qub
who helped make significant improve¬
ments to the outdoor arena.

Tf Don Sadler and the City of Wind¬
sor hadrit put a roof over this rink, it
wouldn't have happened? Murdodi
said.

Multiple teams put a fierce performance
in the dements on a slushy morning
and afternoon, whkh brightened up
ewen more with each chikfe smile. Car¬
ter Stario-Stannard, 7, along with his
team toe Windsor Phantoms had a lot
of fun playing on the outdoor rink de¬
spite its diaflenges.

"With ail of the snow on the foe it made
it hard to pass the puck but we played
hard? Stasfo-Stannaid said. T definitely
want to come back next year?

Carters feiher Mike Siannard said it was
a unique experience for the children
but also a humbling experience for the
multiple families in attendance who
dared to brave the dements for the love
ofhockey.

Tt was a little cold but its nice to get the
lads out there? Stannard said. “It was a
great time, parents loved and the kids
loved it boa Wei do it again next year
for sure?

A hot meal was offered to those who
needed a break from ail erf the fun and

at a table inside the Polish Community
Centre across from the rink sat some erf
the most influential members ofWrnd-
sofs hockey community along wtih
Murdoch, who is a lifetime number
of the WMHA Aaoss from lapierre
was Fred Baldwin, president of Wind’
sor AAA Zone and a man who has
watched countless athletes rise through
the minor hockey ranks and march to
the NHL Along with Fred was his son
Ryan, who played in over 150 OHL
g^mes with 82 coming as a Windsor
Spitfires, Baldwin ultimately won a
Sutherland Cup as a key member of the
LaSalle Vipers playoff run in 2010*

A third generation of Baldwin was also
there, as Ryaris ymu^ son Logan stood
within his dads arms and had no prob¬
lem idling everyone how ccJd it was
playing in the sub-zero temperatures
Jaa 10,

* Whafe neat for me is seeing someone
like Ryan who came ijp fiiro^ the ^
tem and now they are bringing up thdr
kids? Murdoch “Now Im running

into grandparents who I played with or
against Were dealing with three genera¬
tion here and that is kind of neat?

The snow never stopped failing and
there were more than a few sets of cold
cheeks and a OHjpk cases of wind bum
to go around, but thafe part of the beau¬
ty erf the good dd hockey gam e said
Murdoch.

“Logan said his fingers were getting odd
and it was tough to handle the puck in
the snow? Murdoch said **But thats
outdoor hockey and that bm^ us back
some of our memories, I played up in
Kirkland Lake whkh is so fer north ft is
not even funny?

Now that hockey has been brought back
insider Lapkrre said there is only one
thing to dfo when they schedule the date.

“We need to reschedule it to December
when ft doesrit snow in Windsor? Lapi¬
erre said “The day before this would
have been perfect but well see what we
can do next year?

Cbskey led the Lancers dienee fern
the power hitter and middle blocker
positions, Hodgson said its time thdr
supporting cast to step up to make this

team a threat everywhere

*We need some different players to step
up? Hodgson. We know what Emily
and Shannon can do offensively and
people are starting to catch onto that
We need Jade Zfebarth and Gariagh
Bailey to step up and take some pressure
off of those players and make it an easier
game for everyone?

Windsor ikes off against the Waterloo
Warriors at St Denis Centre Jan. 15.
First serve is 6 pm

"They are tough teams but we can get
ourselves into a good position? Hodg¬
son sakl "Our goal is be in second or
third in our division and probably play
Western in the playoffs and hopefully
move onto the QUA Final Four. This
game is a big part to that because it can
give us some separaboa WeVe onlyfost

play a large role in the Lancers offense

going forward

Windsor Express Back On Track NBL
Central Division After Three-Win Weekend

BRETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

Two big additions to the Windsor Ex¬
press roster helped snap the two-time
defending NBL Canada champions
back into their winning ways to begin
2016.

After failing to score 100 points in their
first two games, the Express sidled
Brandon Robinson - the NRIs sec¬
ond all-time leading scorer - and also
saw guard Tony Bennett come back to
the team from a suspension incurred
last season The two star guards were
thrust into the spodigjht right away and
they shone bright for the Express over
a three-day span whkh saw Windsor
defeat the Orangeville Afc, Niagara Riv¬
er lions and the London Lighting - all
within a 48 hour span

Ora - the three-ganie stretch, Robin¬
son average over 25 points per contest
and hit key shot after key shot to keep
the Express offense on track and paced
them to the top of the NBIs central di¬
vision at 3-2

Tm just happy to be here and contrib¬
ute to wins, the expectations are high 71
Robinson said "Coach puts us aD in a
position to be great and he just Ids us do
what we need to do as professionals fve
proven myself in this league, Fve been
here since it started and now Fm just
glad to be here in Windsor"

Prior to the weekend grind, Express in¬
terim head coach Tony Tones addressed
the importance ofthese stretch of games
to his team during a practice after the
0-2 start and said he drew bade on his
experience as a college coach at Tennes¬
see and Auburn to try and approach the
three-game stretch as if it were a tourna¬
ment

“I told them we can ascend to the top of
the league by winning these three games
in a rowf Jones said “They ve played
preseason tournaments and postseason
tournaments where you have to play
three games to win a diampronship. I
told them lets win each pme and get
back in this division."

Windsor battled Orangeville on New
Years Day and Robinson was impres¬
sive for the Express in his debut scoring
21 points to go along with seven assirts
and four rebounds in a 111-94 victory
over the A on their home court at the
Athlete Institute Jan. 1.

Three other Windsor Express play¬
ers scored in double-digits as Chris
Commons sawed a game-high 22
points while Bennett and Adrian Moss
scored 20 and 19, respectively. The 5*8"
guard Moss also grabbed a game-high
total of nine rebounds while Commons
and Siane Ross hauled down six re¬
bounds each.

The next night in Windsor, the River
Lions visited the WFCU Centre for the
first time as the leagues newest fran¬
chise The Express needed all of the
firepower they could muster as Niagara
boasted two of the top-five scorers in

the league in Ijogm Stutz and Sammy
Zeglinski who average over 28 points
per game The game was a offense-filled
thriller from tip to finish and Robinson
was the man controlling the pulse.

In his debut game in front of Windsor
fens, Robinson scored 35 points and
added seven assists. Also having huge
offensive performances were Express
veterans Commons and Bennett,
who both scored 29. Niagaras big two
burned the Express defense for a com¬
bined 60 paints but after a tigfrtly-oon-
tested fourth quarter and multiple foul
shots in the waning minutes, Zeglinkis
three- pointer to tk the game arthe buzz¬
er was short Windsor toc^c the 118-115
decision to earn their first victory at the
WFCU Centre this season

“Its not the xs and os, its the Jlmmys and
Joes - or the Tonys and BrandortC Jones
said "Those guys help our basketball

especially on the offensive end Those
guys have a skill set that really fits my
phifosophyT

A date with their rivals from London
at Budweiser Gardens loomed a mere
16 hours later as the Lightning hosted
Windsor for an afternoon contest Feb

first half, as both teams had played the
night before Windsor trails 52-43 at
halftime but stormed back in the third
quarter and outscored London 25-19
to take an ll-point edge into the final
frame A back-and-forth battled ensued
throughout the last 12 minutes of action
butneeded the final momentetodedare
a winner.

With the game tied at 91-91 in the final
20 seconds, Windsors newest acqui¬
sition made another game huge im¬
pact by crossing over his defender and
knocking down a three-point shot with

10 seconds to go. London pushed the
ball up court T^shawn Pattersonk long
ball rimmed out and the Express took a
94-91 win back to the Rose City.

Tits an unbelievable turnaround w and
thafs tough on the athletes but we have
some athletes who have some pride,"
Jones said "You haw to play whos on
your schedule no matter where they are
at and what time they say the game is.

A big win it was indeed for the Lancers
to bear the seventh ranked Badgers who
brought a near perfect 6-1 record on

their home court, the Bob Davis Gym¬
nasium* In addition to echoing coach
VaDee and Steers enthusiasm concern¬
ing the win Rogers said this season has
been a difficult transition for her, but she
is more aware that Emily Prevost and
her need to step up more ofiensivdy
after the graduation of leading scorer
Korissa WiDiams and Jocelyn Laroque-
whobothwon five CIS national tides for
the program.

“ff this team is going to have a chance
to win a sixth national tide, it means we
can't fall asleep on defense,” Roger said

Rrevost finished the game with eight
points including shooting 4-4 from tlie
free throw line in the four point victory:
Prevsot s^d she lias accepted her in¬
creased role as a starter and co-captain
this year but it was the teams defense
that led them to victory

*We also had some defensive goals and
I think we did a good job executing
themT Prevost said

In this contest Windsors bench out¬
sailed that of Brocks 33-6 and they out
rebounded the Badgers 49-33 in a hotly

contested affair featuring five ties and five
lead changes, with neither team leading
by more than six points throughout the
contest Rog^r led all scorers with 19
points and nine rebounds while Steer
tallied 17 points with newcomer Orian
Amsakm - who cam e to Windsor from
Td Aviv, Isreal - chipping in with 10
points, Veteran Andrea Kks straggled
from the field but continued her strong
play as she hauled down an impressive
15 rebounds

Brock had four players score in double
figures and equaled Windsor offensive
output tn each quarter escort in the
secoixi when Windsor took a 34-30
lead into half The four-point cushion
proved to be the winning margin at the
end of regulation time and the Lancets
pushed thdr record to 5-3 with another
victory over a OS Top JOof^onent

The lancer mens bal team put up an
equally gallant eflbrt in trying to knock
off thdr opponents but were outscored
19-14 and 26-12 in the first two quar¬

New Sexual Misconduct
Policy is Open to Suggestions

CALEB WORK MAN

News Editor

This year the University of Windsor
has been wuridrg hard a new policy to
hdp raise awareness to and prevent any
sexual misconduct in the cimpus com¬
munity* *

Right from the beginning of fiist semes¬
ter, the university lias pushed forward
a sense of community and anti-rape
culture by bringing in a variety of guests
and forming diifenml fpoups. The first
public draft of the policy lias been re¬
leased and can be accessed for review
and commentary by alL

"We know that one in four women are
sexually assaulted over their university
period,” said faydee Tarpeh, president of
the UWSA. “ffis important to have apok
icy on campus that keeps the campus
safe, especially our female population”

The policy focuses on the misconcep¬
tions and myths around sexual assault
and states "these myths downplay the
seriousness of sexual misconduct and
confuse our understanding of consent 1
Along with this is a definition the poli¬
cy bdieves people should understand
about sexual assault.

*Tve taken a look and renewed the sex¬
ual policy' - its really good in my opin¬
ion; said Tarpeh Tve sat down with a
couple of people and weve agreed dial
the university and committee dedicated
to the policy has done a very good job
with it Hl& a standalone pdky which
means it will take precedence with its
own cases,"

Another main focus of the policy is die
rights of die survivor; which indudes
they be treated with compassion, dig¬
nity and respect, be informed about
disclosing, reporting and complaint

The first draft {/Windsor's sexual assault policy is available online at uwindsor.ca . Vie University is asking for any and alt comments and sug¬
gestions to be made by this weekend .

options and the limits to confidentiality
with each option and to have
reasonable and necessary actions taken
to prevent further unwanted contact
with the alleged perpetrator amongst
otherthings,

Shane Morris, a student at the universi¬
ty, said i£& important to protect both the
males and females of the university and

its obvious we should liave a policy in
place to prevent sexual assault

It needs to cover a H grounds, not just
what we perceive as socual assauttT said
Morris. "Unsolicited groping through
slander all needs to be covered Sdiod
should be a safe place for young adults
and whatever we can do to protect each
other is necessary?

Outlined in the review is also the steps to

take to disclose, report and take further
preventative actions against it happen¬
ing again,

Dhouha Trike the senator of the UWSA
involved with, the policy said it woukbit
be possible without the hard work and
efforts of die working committee.

“The University of Windsor plans to

have the final version of the pbBcy re^
leased by the end of February of 2016”
saidTrikL

Bored Of The Gym?
Take a Swing At Pole

KAR-LEIGHKELSO

The Lance Contributor

You know who you are. Maybe yarn
sick of running on a treadmill staring at
a wall or a TV broadcastingsomething
youaxildrit care less about Maybethe
idea ofliftingweights even with aspotter
has you fading a Me hitinudated May¬
be you're just not feeling the motivation
to drag yourself into the gym to do die
same things over and over again If
you're feeling like your fitness routine
needs a Me shaking up bid you're not
entirely sure how to do it maybe pole
fitness is just the ticket

There are a couple of options iffWindsor
for alternative fitness* and pok dancing

classes that can be just as challenging as

of them* If you think it's about learning
to be a stripper, think again; & a fun,
involved, incredible ^nmgfti-buikling
activity that may just be what you need
to motivate you to actually exercise, and
have a good time while doing it

Vertika Bole Fitness, located at 1437 Ot-

ttrcs as

wd! as veitica! fmire and pllates.

“Barre closes infuse Aments of ballet
training and the bane aspect of bafletT
said Laroche. “But as an ex-dancer, its
definitely not ballet Its way more ath¬
letically geared It 1ms more of a focus on
the lower body, [but also] works its way
up. Its fantastic for streamlining and
lengthening muscle tissue

Laiodies pilates dasses are based on the
Stott Mates brand, which focuses on
proper bodily alignment and exercis¬
ing in the safest and most dfective way

Instructor Elizabeth Larodie, who
teaches bane and pibaes dasses at Ver¬
tika, said it's totally normal to feel sonic
trepidation walking into a studio tike
Vertika for the first time, and even the
most outgoing people might fed a Me
shy trying to pull off some sexy moves
while seeing themselves in front of a
floor-to ceiling mirror She did add
however, pretty much everyone warms
up after doing a few dasses in the studio,
not to mention these are definitely perks
to attending dasses versus going to the
gym alone.

“When 1 hi at the gym Tm a little bit re¬
luctant to go anywhere near things like
the free weights, espedaltyasawomanT
said Laroche 'The only thing I really
get when fm going to the gym, unless 1
realty push myself, is cardkx And when
you come to a group setting, especially
a smaller group setting like at Vertika,
you get personalized attention, you get
pushed way past things you thought
you were capable of, and you just get
a bigger working knowledge [ot your
body] ...and how to properly engtge [it).

“I find the dass setting is my preferred
kind of workout I just get so much
more out of it than by going to the gym
Plus, when you're on your own, the mo¬
tivation to go just diminishes every sin¬
gle time unless ym get into a solid hab¬
it Generali)' people lose motivation and
they lose tfak personal urge to go run on
the treadmill. When you're coming to
a dass, you make friends here, )*xi get
really dose to the fiistructotandgetth^
extra urge to go to spend your time in a
class setting.”

If youre the type of person who wants
to try something unconverrtfona! but
maybe don't want to jump head-first
into pok fitness, Larodie said there are
many benefits to her barre and pilules

“Is all about getting to a neutral skeleton
position, making sure that you are very
safe in every position that you're doing
and building on top of perfect aligp-
mentT said Larodie "Is never gok^
to be something where you're pushed
to the end but your alignment is kind
of crummy, and you get a great work¬
out but after three weeks your shoulder
hurts. It's utilized by a lot of physiother¬
apists in the sense that it reaBy helps to
keep you stoiduraliy aligned and very
aal^andatthesaroetmieprovkiiiigyou
wflh areaBygoodivorkcjuL It needs to
be very safe and very effective for that
individual txxty’

1 £ on the other hand you are feeling a
bit more adventurous and want to jump
right into doing pok fitness, co-owner
Carta Ckmerson said there are abso¬
lutely benefits to doing pole than just
the muscular strength gained from the
dasses. Arguably something even more
valuable self-confidence

“Plok really helps you develop a better
sense of yourself and fed better and
more confident in your body 1 said
Ckmerson "The gifts that Tve been
teaching for a period of time have come
in and said they were really shy and they
fdt really uncomfortable about their
bodies, and there were a lot of things
they hated about themselves. After
doing pok they teamed to love their
body' a bit more with all of their flaws,
and the only thing they changed about
their body was lading more comfort¬
able with it I think a lot of women really
fed asdf-cortfidence boost, and they see
the things they re capable of doing with
their bodies that they had no idea they
could do before”

Vertika features a dass policy where
anyone can drop in cm a dass for $10
to get a sense of the atmosphere and
the kind of workouts you can gam from
bdng them Additionally, they will give
students a 10 per cent discount off a
membership fee.

Breathe Mates & FitnessSindio also of¬
fers, as you might have guessed, pilates
dasses, as well as pole fitness dasses
and something that looks as cod as it
sounds: aerial yoga* The bask principle
is yoga performed in silk hammocks,
which allow students to bend and
stretch themselves into deeper poses
thanks to increased freedom of move¬
ment from being off the pound

Co-owner of and instructor at Vertika Pole Fitness Alexandra Michelle and two of her students suspend
themselves cm their poles during the Pole Choreography class January 25.

Breathe co-owner Nikki Sebastian said
aerial yoga is accessibk for people of all
ages, and mentioned she has people in
her dasses who are SOyeats-dd and
hanging from the cdling

“Theresa something kind of special about
these aerial and pok dasses because its
different and fun, and you dorit neces¬
sarily fed like youre going to a work¬
out," said Sebastian. “You're focused on
the progress that's made and the things

being accomplished The benefits of
going upside down, the benefits of go¬
ing deeper in the poses... you fed good
when you come out of the dass.”

As tar as the studied pole fitness goes,
Breathe is a veteran in the dasses, having
offered them for seven years, Sebastian
said they are intended for everyone of all
shapes, sizes* ages, and fitness goals.

‘Some people do come to fed sexiness

and do something thafs fun and a Me
more risque, and some come very fo¬
cused to achieving fitness [goals] and
learning certain poses on the pok as
an extension of things they're currently
doing,” said Sebastian “Wecan ^erto
aU of that”

You know what they say: the best
things happen outside of your comfort
zone. Andnot dreading going out to ex¬
ercise? That sounds pretty good to me.

Movie Review: The End of the Tour

laceoommrtted suicide in September of is a discussion as Lipsky expresses his

GRANTjONSSGN

Tbe Lance Contributor

2015 is in foe record books and in those
books comes a very long list of films I
have yet to see. With so many different
forms of entertainment coming at us
these days, it can be very easy to miss
out on some of the greatest content to
CDn^outoffWIywooA Onesuchfilm
that I missed tom last summer is The
End of ttoToui^ a biopic about a week
long interview in 1996 between author
David FosterWallace and Rolling Stone
reporter David lipsky at the end o£ you
guessed it, Wallaces book tour for foe
immensely celebrated novel "Infinite
Jest” Manywho covered the bookback
then went so far as to daim that Wallace
was a literary genius* a Hemingway or
Salinger of our time Tragically WaL

2008, which is where this film begins.

The opening shot is of Jesse Eisenbeig
as David lipsky in 2008 as he hears the
initial reports of Wallaces death. Lipsky
relays some disbelief but upon confir¬
mation goes searching for a shoebox
holding his old tape recorder and some
treasured recordings among those
is the tape he recorded the entirety of
foe interview with Wallace in 19% on.
From that point the films goes bade to
the events that occurred during Lipsky^
time withWallace and becomes a sort of
road movie.

The movie feds like a reflection, a reoon-
skkring of questions and possibilities
that came up between two writers once
upon a time; one immensely successful
the other not so much. Success in ilsdf

envy net only for the attention and feme
that Wallace receives, but also and more
toportantly, for the acclaim Lipsky ap¬
pears contused when Wallace reveals
his less than enthused response to those
dements that have come as a result with
the publication of “Infinite Jest” Wallace
just does not seem to care in the same
way as other people, ft even appears to
be one of foe questions that is plaguing
him. What is success? What are we
strivii^ for here, as people, as Ameri¬
cans? Many of themes of the film link
heavily with what foe two characters
talk about as foe thanes of foe book.
Thanes such as loneliness, possibly
even foe fear of being londy; achieve¬
ment, what is it that we want? We see
this in Wallace and he says as much in
foe film about how he thought by living

foe ideal American life and by going al¬
ter x, y and z and adtieving everything
that he set out to do would fix his issues,
or curb his doubts. Wallace explains
that he ultimately felt that every axiom
or belief to ever held turned out to be
false, incorrect and there was nothing
and you were nothing because you now
recognized there was nothing

This is a challenging film in that it forc¬
es you to reflect on the choices you've
made in your life ft will challenge you
to consider what it is you really want
and whether or not achieving what you
want will fulfill you. ft can be scary to

experience, but the film expresses this
and other messages in a very delicate
way. James Pbnsddt helms the film
with restraint in that to kts foe camera
liover around the performers. We, the
audience, are just natural examiners of
a personal conversation and Fonsoldt
allows us to just exist in foe same space.
Never does it fed like a message or
thought intended to be drilled into our
braina Ttoredrevdatk^nsof ttofilm
though are the performances ofFJsen-
berg and particularly Jason Segd. The
bond these two performers share on
screen is what this film rests its wdght
on and the bond absolutely holds.

The Bod Pod k a device, which found
its home in the Human Kinetics budd¬
ing just under a decade ago It serves as
a body composition assessment aimed
to measure the ratio of a persons mus-
de mass and body fat But as the piece
of technology is conskicrHbLy expensive
as is the upkeep along with it, it was ex¬
clusive to the academic sector for the
fongesttime

Tt was used mainly for research pur¬
poses, and for the undeigrad dasses, so
when they have their labs* (hen this is
part of their learning useT said Human

It wasn’t until January of last year when
foe Bod Pod became available to the
public Offered as a two for one asr

$40 leads to an air and underwater

the study to be growing in the city.

“Now that theres this upswing and

Movie Review: Spectre

ROHANKHANNA

The Lance Contributor

Snazzy cars, gorgeous women and
exotic locales - these are some of ihe
dements that come to mind when we
think about a James Bond film. “Spec¬
tre” yet again like any other Bond film
reaffirms that established notion we
have come to expect from the series. It
is the twenty-fourth film in foe franchise
and the fourth outing of Danid Craig
as the British spy. It is a story that gfoes
the arc of Craigs story as Bond togeth¬
er. The film also stars Christoph Wafa
(Inglorious Bastards) as Ernst Sfcavro
Bfofdd, Ralph Fknnes as M, Andrew
Scott (Sheriock) as Q Lia Seydoux as
Dr. Madeleine Swana and Monica Bd-
hjcdasludaSdarra.

Directed by Sam Mendes (Revolution¬
ary' Road), this time around the suave
spy has to deal with a mysterious orga¬
nization known as the Spectre, all the
while Scotfe character C is persistent

on shutting down the double O pro¬
gramme and repJaceit with drones and
digital technology that can trade anyone
at anytime. Post the events of “SkyfeHL”
forma - M (Judi Dendi) from her grave
leaves behind a message for Bond to
trade down Spectre The world is faffing
apart for Bond, especially after losing M
and Vesper Lynd (Eva Green), and all
the events since Casino RoyaJe come
foH aide in this film.

When it comes to the padng, the narra¬
tion is fast paced and there are non-ex¬
istent dull momenta The dnanatogra-
pby is spotless and Mendes tries tobuild
the anticipation gradually for the view¬
ers quite niedy Of course it wouldn’t be
a Bond film if there were no action set

praiseworthy editing,

The only thing that felt a bit underde¬
veloped was Christoph VVafak charac¬
ter Ihe talented actor didrit get much
screen time to showcase his abilities as
the mastermind behind the operation.

The film gave off te&ate signs of a ru¬
mored last performance by Craig as
Bond, and if that is true, it is a worth¬
while send off for the actor as he has
proven to be a worthy successor post
Pierce Brosnan,

“Spectre” is not a flawless film, yet it is
nothing less than a spectacle to watch, ft
can be considered as a minusaite crease
on the perfectly tailored suite that Bond
adorns in all his iterator but some-

pieces and you are treated wiffihigh-oc- times you have to get your hands dirty
tane action that are impies- to get the license to ldR and that is not

sive and portrayed efficiently through such a bad thing.

Fashion Show Hits
the Ground Strutting

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

The University of Windsor Fashion
dub i nitiall y came into fruition in Jan¬
uary of last year* Along with it carried a
determined focus to usher in style and
creativity in an aspect, which isrit very
prominent among most locak

*A specific dty should not put limits on
your passions or hobbies It is basically
the reason why I started this dubT said
show director Dana Kulia.

The modernity of the Centre for En¬
gineering Innovation was the optimal
place for the UWFC to host their sec¬
ond annual fashion show on the eve-

tiie buildings architecture aBowed for a
runwaywith sufficient seating and space
as nearly two dozen models took to the
stage with varying outfits from four dif¬
ferent brands, indudii^ Urban Planet
and the Campjs Bookstore.

Among the models was Ginefle McCal-
lum, a second year dramatic art student
who participated with a friend following
an audition call she found of the dubs
Instagram page For her, fashion can be
boiled down to one word: expressioa

To a rather ironk extent, the strut on the
mnway can be looked upon as an act
of performance art in where the idea is
to not perform at at Aariz Jamali has
been with the UWFC almost since its
inceptioa and believes the real objective
in mind should be to illuminate you as a
walking mamiequia

T like the intense lookT Jamali said %
takes away &om people looking at you,
as opposed to your clothes. Because
when youre neutral your face looks
boring and they're mostly focused on
what you're wearing."

The show ended within a span of 15
minutes as every article of dothing
was shown off But Kulia believes ft
went smoothly, remaining undeterred
in making fashion more of a footnote
on campus since the university itsdf is
absent of a fashion program. Between
the UWFCs deepening soda! media
presence and departments dedicated to
marketing the dub and its mantra, she
finds the snowball is sfowty but surely
becoming bigger

'We're trying to do everything fashion
related, so you can think of our dub as
a multidimensional organization^ Kulia

The University of Windsor has always

this semester is no exception*

M of last week, dubs set up booths to
inform and bring awareness to the exis¬
tence of their dubs within the university.
Through this, the dubs had the oppor¬
tunity to show students what they do,
what their impact is and whal future
goals they have as a dub.

One such dub present was the univem-
tfs eheeifeadingdub, which goes to and

About 60 people gathered outside of

government and thdr decision to cut
out certain healthcare benefits for Cana¬

Among the topics discussed were the
obvious and some a Me more obscure
and a new way of thinking. One of the
speakers who discussed a different point
was a director for Pathway to Potential

sor and Essex County.

Adam Vasey “Fm not necessarily a pro¬
fessional of the healthcare system but
the foct we aD connect and rally for com¬
mon goals is something to be proud of
through the community?

Vasey said an alternative way of think¬
ing about healthcare is the idea of raising

the minimum wage to a Mvii^ wage in
that area and to make sure people are
making enough money to get the care
they need if dreum^anoes arise in their
life.

"We cant keep buying into die notion

deficit but the government \srit con¬

Ex-UWSA Executive Looks to Clear

the Air Regarding Resignation

CALEB WORKMAN

News Editor

Last semester a UWSA executive was
deemed to resign due to missing three
mandatory meetings but recently has
come out with more to the story.

Rajiv ‘"Soul-Train” Sivanesan was away
for two of the three meetings
related business but due to the new by¬
law structure, was deemed to resign for
missing those meetings regardless the
reasons. He saki he attempted to phone
in for one specifically but was unable to
properly connect to the meeting,

"The [UWSA] did thdr own research
within thdr own rights, with their own
lawyer and I have an email from the

lawyer stating 1 should not be deemed to
resign; said Sivanesan.

According to Sivanesan, the email stat¬
ed he should still be an executive given
the diairnsfcances of him being away
on wodc-rcted meetings. He said the
board decided to vote against the law¬
yers recommendation and proceed
with deeming him to resign

“In any case that a lawyer deals with a
dknt, the dient has the right to accept or
reject the lawyers advice,” said Tarpeh.
T& no secret that the board decided to
rgectit and uphold the UWSA by-tews?

Tarpeh said the board felt it made the
best decision for the organization and
for the students by upholding the by¬

laws,

'It was difficult because I knew there
was something wrong with how the
whole process had happened but the
problem is, with regards to the organi¬
zation, die reason I ran was because I
wanttoseediisorganiaahongjowandl
wanted it to be something the university
is proud of and something the students
are proud to be part of said Sivanesait
“To turn around and go against the or¬
ganization defeats the whole purpose as
to why I joined it in the first place”

He said there are no hard feelings at all
and he wishes the best for the organisa¬
tion to grow and become the best it can
be for the students but its difficult be¬

cause people hes talked to say hes been
wronged and its a case he would win no
matter whaL

Tarpeh said there b no bad blood be¬
tween any of the executives orex-em>
utives and they are still in contact and
he said the organization as a whole does
not hold anything against anyone, spe-
dficaliy in this case.

“It would be very difficult for me to lose
my case from my understand!^” said
Svanesan. "Being someone whos so
student focused* I don't want to be the
person who says they want to pursue a
case that would take V amount of dol¬
lars or resources from students* That
would be hypocritical and against the

very principals I ran for in the first place”

Sivanesan said the big thing he wants
people to take away from this is that
he wasn't deemed to res^i because
of anything he did wrong but because
of a misunderstanding by the UWSA
Board He said hebdieves in tbeorgmi-
nation no matter what happens and he
hopes they grow from here.

Tarpeh said the new vice president, To-
fonmi Adebise, is doing a greadt job and
through him they had a very successful
Frost Week.

“Hes been doing an awesome job” said
Tarpeh. "Hes a loving guy very open
and hes excited to hdp students whkb
bail we could ask for”

good to see his team face adversity on
another teams court and pull out a vic¬
tory such as this.

"No question* the first five points it was

Stirling was a Badger for the past four
seasons and was twice named an OUA

sweeter seeing as he was head coach of
the Badgers before he came to Wind¬

played a factor and the Brodt squad
took fuD advantage of the support they
received

“They ware pretty jacked up because of
the crowd,” Hodgson said "And Lauren
played for them last year so they draft
want to lose to their formerteammateas

wdl Even though they are friends you
never want to lose to that person. They
were playing the best tbeyte played and
we weathered the storm in the first set
After we got through that we had a
more control We were up 2145 fa the
second and third set and won both, but
made them closer than what they need¬
ed tobe!’

Sliding said the match was a good test
of patience for her team by playing fa a
playoff environment at Brock this past
weekend Stirling added it helped the
Lancers get some crunch time experi¬

what they have accomplished thus hr.

£ AgairrtNpssing thegfrls did amazing,
they battled in all areas, our goattending
was solid,” Hunter said “Fatigue showed
[gainst Imirentian] in the first two pe¬
riods. An injury to fill Hops the night
before shortened our lineup. Shes a big
part our penalty kill and our second
line so it took a while for our other girls
to readjust to their new rotes and that
showed in the first and second periods;

Against Nipissing, Windsor got
things started right away with a power
play goal from Rachel Chantfer just un¬
der six minutes into the first period with

attacker with 152 remaining and a fa-
eeoff in Laurentian^ zone and cashed in
shortly after on a goalmouth crash from

Human Kinetics Building Hosts
National Coaching Certification Program

News Editor

The University of Windsor is continu¬
ing to give those who love sports or
want an avenue to hdp and influence
yuctfh through sports to attain six course
credits under the National Coaching
Gmification Program and begin their

Hie Faculty of Human Kinetics offered
the first three of six multi-sport NCCP
courses from 5 pm to 9pm |aa 22 and
again the next day from 9 am to4pm
in the Human Kinetics Building Jan_23*
Maida Milne said 10 people tame to
the clinic, whkh is newly housed in the
university. Milne decided to invite the
NCCPs regional instructor to the HK
building in an dfcrt to aid UWmdsor
students to get thdr foot in the door in
the woddof coaching.

“A lot of stidmts wouldn't hear about it
happening in the dty so we used the op*
portunfly to host it at UWmdsor to help
all those interested but particularly to
hdp the human kinetics students who
have bag interests in coaching,” Milne
said % lot of organizations require at
least some of these NCCP courses so
we tried to make sure these people have
access to it”

Part A of the NCCP multi-sport course
examined three different topics includ¬
ing how to make ethical decisions, plan
a practice and leam die basic nutrition
surrounding athletes in sports. These
courses were offered separately for $50
or as part of a three-course inclusive
price of $130.

Lancers cross country and middle dis¬
tance track and field coach Gary Malloy
said the NCCP has revamped thdr pro¬

grams in recent years so it is important
for young coaches entering at any level
to take these courses and leam the fun¬
damental principles, which can lead to
being an effective coach in the future

"These early courses are gpod because
they are generic and they can be applied
to any sportsT Malloy said Tt gives you
good principles about how to design a
program and nutrition or perhaps leam
some things you think you might know
but you want to make sure before you
start coaching young people. Every time
we can have a dink: like this in our bade
yard and we dorit have to travel is very
benefidaT

The NCCP will be bade in Windsor's

thur who had the biggest day when he
won the mem one mile with a time of
411.48 and followed that up with an 800
meters run of 155.54 just over an hour
later. McArthur attributed his success
to a big week of training and a small but
vocal squad of only 44 Lancer athletes at
the meet, which made for a great team
atmosphere,

"Most distance runners in our team
took tiie weekend off but 1 wanted to
just get some more race experience
under the belt so I decided to do the
one mile and then an 800 meter race
an hour laterT McArthur said “Only
thought going into the mile was to win
the race.! wasn't worried about time felt
tired bit the fitness is there so 1 ended
up winning the race and having a mile
personal best as weft 1 turned around
and had a great 800 m running right
after behind teammate Nick Maanakin
running 153.60.”

Chris Wkigji and Mifos Savi finished
one-two in mens pole vault but both
foiled to leap 4,86 meters and settled
for 471 meters on that day In the mens

The Lance Contributor

Last week was another rocky patch of
competition for the Lancer womens
and mens basketball teams, as both
teams came up in defeat to their nation¬
ally ranked counterparts in tire Maraud¬
ers of McMaster

For the women it went down to the
wire before Windsor finally conceded
68-62 at the end of regulation time For
the men* the road trip to the Burridge
Gymnasium in Hamilton ended in a
more soberii^ 106-74 loss

On the bright side it was a week that
rightfully saw the Ontario University
Athletics (OUA) proudly announce
that the womeris provincial basketball
championship trophy officially will now
be known as the “Critefli Cup! The ges¬
ture was given in honor of legendary

Gritefli established a new single season
OUA provincial record with 19 confer¬
ence wins at Brock University; when the
Lancer womens team won 21 straight
en route to daiming the OUA and CIS
title two years ago.

The Lancer mens respective loss to
McMaster was a fopsided thirty-point
disappoinlmeitf, which dps Wind¬

feired much better at home where they
have gone 4-1 in comparison to thdr
1-5 record on the road Similar to the
women, the Windsor mens team fell to
the Maruaders last week, mainly due to

After a strong weekend of division play
against the Flint Firebirds and Grey¬
hounds, the Windsor Spitfires are on a
three-game winnli^ streak and sit on
top of the OHIs west division with a
nine-point cushion and a 29-12-5 re¬
cord

Windsors string of victories began
with abig night from two of their three
top-tier players who are currently Med
in the latest top 25 NHL draft rankings.

Just days after being rated 10th overall
in the NHL draft rankings. Spitfires
defensemen Mikhail Sergachevs goal
nearly seven minutes into the third
period stood up as the winner in a 5-3
victory over the Firebirds at the WFCU
Centre Jaa 2L. Seigadiev and the 14th-
ranked Logan Brown each had a goal
and three assists for a Windsor while
Brendan Lermeux and Christian Fisch¬
er each had a goal and an assist Mike
DiFiebo made 22 saves in net on the
front eralofffie home and home series.

With fewer than 22 games left in the

coach Trevor Letowslri sakl at this point
Windsor is mainly worrying about
themselves.

“We weren't happy coming off of a loss
to Saginaw that we thought we let get
away from us in the third period,” Le~
towdei said 'Its a good league and Flint
is battling for a playoff spot so we have
to play wdl, play hard and get comribu-
dons from everybody to win,”

Two days later at the Dort Federal Even!
Centre in FlinLML, the Spitfires gave
up an eariy goal but got a spark from
Aaron Ludiuks 21st goal of the season
to take a 1-1 tie into the first intermis-
sfoa After Brad Latour scored less than
two minutes into the second, Firebirds
Zack Pittman took an undisciplined
slashing penalty, which sent Windsors
commanding power play unit to the
ice The Spitfires would only need 19
seconds to strike as Lemieiix hit the
25-goal mark for the third stiajght year
and gave Windsor a 3-1 lead and would
prove to be the winner in a 3-2 victory,
DiPietro gpve up a power play goal mid¬
way through the third but finished with
19 saves cm the night to extend his win

Flint remains winless against Windsor
this season and Firebirds head coach

is inabuikling phase, his players need to

realize that every time they step on the

ice they have an opportunity to make a

difference for their hockey dub.

»

tc Thats what we keep stressing and try*
ing to teach, to understand and devel¬
op so thin^ will change,” Gruden said
"They have to understand that we need
more of a commitment through 60
minutes to get a win, [Windsor] is a big
strong team that likes to grind it down
low so you have to make to it difficult
for them and limit your turnovers in the
neutral zone.”

After traveling throughout the night for
a Sunday matinee affair, it was the late
heroics of the 20-year old Latour that
made the difference for the Spits in the
contest against the Greyhounds. Latour
scored a pair of goals with under two
minutes remaining as Windsor earned

The timing of Windsors hot play could
not be better, as their upcoming three-

With three games in three nights against

ASHLEIGHERDELYAN

MS.W. Candidate

My name is AshJdgh Eiddyan and I
have been amending the University of
Windsor tor the past 5 years for both
my undergraduate and graduate stud¬
ies. During my time at UWindsor* I
have witnessed many expensive new
buildings being built The Centre for
Engineering Innovation which cost
$112 million (University of Windsor*
2015) and the Welcome Centre are two
of the latest buildings on main campus
to be built along with the latest addition
of the downtown campus whkh hosts
the School of Sodal Work Within these
last five yean, I have also been a witness
to the bdcofimprovementsbdr^m^
to the many older buildings on campus
at the UnhrasityofWindsc^ that am not

accessible to students who require ac-
cesrible options.

Chryder Hall is just one ©cample of the
inaccessible buildings on campus. There
are no automatic push buttons in order
to open doors and only one wheelchair
ramp that can be used whkh is in a
questionabk stale. The one other ramp
at Chrysler Hall hasasigpn that reads that
the ramp is not wheelchair accessible.
The elevators am also located in places
that are difficult to get to for individuals
who require more accessible options.
Chrysler Hall is a building that hundreds
of students enter daily. Students should
not have to worry 1 about whetha- or not
they will be able to enter a building on
their own due to accessibility issues that
should have been fixed long before the
University of Windsor started any new
projects. The stress of such an issue takes

an unnecessary toll on an individuals’
mental health. Accessibility improve¬
ments to old buildings on campus de¬
serve to be given priority before building
new buildings that smdaits do not even
use, like the Welcome Centre* go up.
The University of Windsor celebrated
its first ever Accessibility Day back in
2013, whkh recognized its improve¬
ments to accessibility within that past
year The Lance featured an article
which highlighted this day; however, it
appeared that the individuals who were
interviewed in the article felt passionate¬
ly about accessibility but could not read¬
ily name any significant recent improve¬
ments. Several years later* here we are in
2016 with so many improvements that
still need to be done. It is unfortunate
that a campus that appears to be so pas¬
sionate about accessibility and disability

accomnx>datiGJis cannot find a way to
make improvements to buildings that
students are constantly using

As an accessibility advocate, it makes
me incredibly angry dial, despite the
committees and on-campus dubs
made at the University of Windsor in
order to promote a more accessible
campus* the university has taken no
step in the right direction even after
students have expressed thdr concerns.
The Welcome Centre at the University
of Windsor whkh is one of the newest
buildings built on campus, hosts no
classrooms, yet it spears to be more
accessible than the most frequently used
buildings on campus such as Chrys¬
ler Halt Erie Hal and Dillon Hal
1 would seem as though the University
otAVindsofs^ri^gJeto fix these accessi¬
bility issues is not due to a lack of funds as

tens of millions of dollars have been put
into new buildings just within my last 5
years on campus. It seems unreasonable
that the university would not be able to
set aside funds to creating a more acces¬
sible campus where students can ted safe
and comfortable. Attending university
is stressful enough without the added
worry of whether or not you will be able
to open a door on your own or enter a
building without someones assistance.
In the year 2016* this should not be an
issue and if the University of Windsor
can put out the funds to create new
buildings that do nothing more than
host meeting rooms and trophy cases
fiikd with items that can be purchased
at the bookstore, surely they can find a
way to make accessibility a number one
priority on campus for students.

A volunteer comes up to the mockstage

Prior to the screening, Rahideau gave a

Theatre Review: The Vagina Monologues

KAR-LEIGH KELSO

The Lance Contributor

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, "The
Vagina Monologues” was written In
1996 by Eve Busier, an activist, play¬
wright and performer. “The Vagina
Monologues” was deemed “prob¬
ably tire most important piece of
political theatre of the last decade”
by The New* York Times in 2006.
Windsor Law presented its 8th annual

performance of the piece Feb. 3 at the
Capitol Theatre with all the proceeds
from die show going to the Sexual As¬
sault Crisis Centre of Essex County.
"The Vagina Monologues” is a produc¬
tion composed of monologues about
the feminine experience It is indeed
a powerful, funny charming political
comedy touching on controversial yet
necessary conversations induding sex¬
ism, misogyny, violence against worn*
en f menstruation and much mom

I don’t know how it tiappened, but
somehow, Fve gone my whole life with¬

The lightingwas perfect, and although 1

The Windsor Essex Care for Kids
brought in all sorts of fan to (he Cabo-
toGub to raise funds for local pediatric
programs,

WE Cane for Kids raises money to
keep children in the area with treat¬
ment, rather tha^ other areas

to tend to health needs, According to
their website^ “Having a child that is ill is
devastating, Having to leave your com¬
munity for treatment in another dty is
tragic”

Maria Spideaheri, event organiser for
the drais, said they wanted an event
where participants could acdvdy get
involved, rather than just sit and watch,

Hfs a good chance for people to give
back and give every cents 1 worth of their
moneyT said Spkfoakri a lot of fun

and it keeps getting bigger each yeaif

Some of the attractions of the evmira*

inducted a dog talent show, raffled priz¬
es, a mini zoo and much more Children
were able to see turtles, lizards, snakes
and even a baby kangaroo.

ganizer, said in the past the event has
benefitted toe WE Care House but this
year all toe proceeds are going towards
toe new Ronald McDonald house in
Windsor

Hhis is our sixth year having the event,”
said Manahon '*We think ife import¬
ant because itk an event where the kids
can get involved as much as the parents.
A fot of events are parent orientated and
lackluster for children, but here they can

have a fot of fun and raise money to¬
wards a good cause!'

Spktealieri said rfs an enteydevd gala
for children where they can experience
an event of this magnitude but still have
fun and remain engaged throughout

Women Speaking
out for Women

GALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

Women from the University of Wind¬
sor iiave started a group, which gathers
together to discuss a wide range of top¬
ics women in Windsor are taring and
allows them to speak out, discuss and
find ways to conquer these issues.

The first womenonly session includ¬
ed women from all age groups, back¬
grounds and ethnicities to speak out
against the struggles of Musfcm women
in Windsor The group is a safe space
where women can speak their minds
and have support in whatever is reeded

Ayesha Mian Akram, member of the
Ahmadiyya Muslim Womens Associ¬
ation student chapter, said the topic is
very dear to their hearts and there was a
lot discussed in thdr meeting,

**We wanted women to learn about
Muslim women from Muslim women
themselves,” said Mian Akram. “We set
up multiple workshops at file meeting
and had the leaders head discussion and

share experiences. We really want to
he^> destroy the stereotypes people have
of Muslim women and we found this
would be die best way to do that”

Mian Akram said they were very
pleased with the turnout and the group
is looking forward to continue to build
and form solidarity groups to speak
out against difierent issues for Windsor
women.

"We can come together across our dif¬
ferences, we can respect each other for
our differences and we can kam about
one another and understand one anoth-
err said Mian Akram. “Hearing from
one another who face these issues dis¬
cussed is something big we emphasize
because were not gaining secondhand
information and were seeing how we
can move forward head oa*

Mian Akram said the biggest take away
from the group is they get to challenge
the kfeals society has of things like Mus¬
lim women or any other future topes
the group discusses and really learn
about one another and be able to stand

Women gathered at the University of Windsor last week to discuss issues , break down barriers and conquer

“We can create respect amongst one an¬
other by learning that we are aB different
from one another in tiemisofourbeik&,
backgrounds and practices,” said Mian
Akram* ‘"Education is key and a com-
munily of educated women is what we
want to create*”

One of tiie biggest take away from the group Wits to challenge Muslim stereotypes . Women from the group

Exhibit Places Focus on
Local Tank Top Apparel

HANIYASSJNE

Arts Editor

Whik this winter has been surprisingly
mild throughout the monfiis, the tem¬
perature likely doesnft have anyone in-
dined to think about tank tops just yet
However a recoil ©diibit has decided to
bring said thought to the forefront ofthe
mind

ft was aqukt reception for the one week
LeBmn(d) Apparel exhibition, which
ran from Jan 31 to Feb. 7 at the Art-
speak (Mery otherwise known as the
Arts Council Windsor Region The re¬
ception hsdf occurred on Feb. 5, where
numerous white tank tops were on
display Each of them showed distinct
landscapes from dties sudi as Paris and
Toronto. The apparel line was designed
by Stephen Drouin, who went in with
the idea of an all-inclusive brand

“Let's say you went online to buyatank

going to buy New York,” Drouin said
“fts Just including everyone that we can”

'Fhis is the fifth ©diM from Drouin,
whkh he said took about five months
to develop In the middle of working on
the notion oflandscapes, Drouin admits
an oversight, as a Windsor tank top was
absent from the catalogue. He eventual-
lypbms to correct this mistake, especial¬
ly since the clothing b completely sewn
and printed within the dty itself Drouin
ultimately hopes to use the apparel to
underscore the notion of buying local¬
ly, which he bdteves makes an essential
difference

‘‘Being comfortable with the defil¬
ing you wear, understanding where it
comes from, its a really big thing for me,”
Drouin said

The LeBran(d) tank top apparel is avail¬
able online through Drouink Etsy web¬
site A fraction of the proceeds will be

The Umvefsity of Windsors African

ities at the university together to leam
about Hack history and all the different

wedc included panels* music events and
different activities for all to get involved
with.

Coordinator of Afrofest 2016* Perana

one together and celebrate foe diversity
of Windsor but they also wanted to ed ¬
ucate people outside of and within foe
manyoiknes,

'"We want to share with people some of
the things we do here on campus and
we also wanted to show people what
some of us go through here on campus
as students and as a]miminity mem-
bets” said Holder

At a panel hdd Fdx 5* they discussed foe
different types of backgrounds people
come from and how the cultures vary
from places like Jamaica compared to
Nigeria. The pand agreed foe pout they
wanted to get across was for people to
understand everyone l\as a story that ts
unique and to team how to treat others
as individuals* not to dump them to¬
gether because of skin color

"Everything we do here is reaBy abeau-

ance, assuming you put the proper eL

HAN I YASSIN E

Arts Editor

Roughly 30 vendors were present in the
Caboto Oub, carrying a variety of prod¬
ucts whidi served to represent a single,
personable aspect: beauty

Such would be the case if you were to
attend what was the second annual
Beauty Expo on the weekend of Feb 6.
Between fashion shows, extra exhibi¬
tor and sponsored vendors, the event
served as a one-stop shop for women
who are looking to amplify their fea¬
tures This could range from anti-aging
products and massage therapy to the
traditional cosmetics used cm a day-to-
day bask Regardless of the method, the
purpose remained die same

Yet overtime, its arguable the definition
of the word beauty has been re- molded
into something beyond whats put on
your face or the accessories you happen
to wear. Natural beauty in other words,
which is something Dayna Ferguson
believes works in tandem with cosmet¬
ics.

,c Ybure evening out the skin tone, add¬
ing things, but youre not hiding what
you look likeT Ferguson said "1 think
if you fed good about yoursdf cm the
inside, then it definitely shows on the
mitskk Confidmce k keyT

Ferguson works as a oosmetidan at

Shoppers Drug Mart, applying make¬
up at the expo to whoever was interest¬
ed Whal beauty means to her fails with¬
in enhancing how you look while not
creating a facade. This opinion seemed
to be conseasus of those who attended
or served as vendors,

Guita Saraei is the national sales and
training director at Jouviance, attend¬
ing tiie event as a vendor to analyze
and highlight concerns regarding a per¬
sons skin condition. She too believes to
fed beautiful mostly requires a level of
self-esteem

“Ef you fed good about your skin, you
fed good about yoursdtr Sarad said

Look good fed good was the motif at
the expa It amid be easy to dismiss the
event as vain, yet those who attended
and participated believe uiMerafeed
features only go so far, and alone they
aren't enough to make a person lode
beautiful

Ihe natural foundation is important
above all dse Eventually the time will
come when all the make-up and mas¬
cara will be washed off, leaving an im¬
age with impeifectkms, but also one in
a pure, unaltered state ffe the face you
look at in the mirror everyday which
you need to come to terms with. In a
society where we see numerous adver¬
tisements with models looking visually
pristine, ifs an important notion to keep
in mind

Cosmetics and fashkm do have their

place however From a personal stand¬
point, therefe a sense of enhancement,
which can be taken from your appear-

fort forward But if you look beautiful

only to fed otherwise, said feding will

transcend any appearance you happen
to build for yoursdf

As Feiguson said confidence is the key.

Counting to Nine

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

Weeks after the inception, which gath¬
ered an overwhelming attendance, the
numbers in Artdte have naturally de¬
creased, but a degree of consistency has
been maintained

"Its been pretty steady 1 said Artcrfek
administrative coordinator Christine
Burchnall “B: usually picks up towards
the end of the afternoon We have a lot
of foot traffic here."

As previously reported in an earlier edi¬
tion, Artdte Inc has served as a space for
“NineT an exbM showcasing the work
of nine recent MBA Alumni from the
Sdiod of Creative Arts The exhibits
openii^ night was part of the Winter
Celebration, which included a collabo¬
rative concert between School of Music
graduates and the Windsor Symphony
Orchestra at the Capitol Theatre. But
where the concert begins and ends in
the same night, the exhibit just next
door endures towards the end of Feb¬
ruary

Derek Yahdnftsky walked into the gal¬
lery around Feh 3, and was immediately

uate foey Stewart

“I went to look at the other pieces, but

for some reason fin drawn to this one;”
Yaholnhsky said ‘Maybe its the cotor
scheme, or the fact that its tided Trage-
<¥

‘Tragedy” is an oil and acrylic painting
which seemingly consists of numerous
images compressed between each other

Upon speaking to Stewart during the re¬
ception, he said hewas fascinated by the
notion of the copy and creating a cdlage
of fragments from numerous paintings
to create a cohesive whole. The fascina¬
tion is one which may have stemmed
from a project he did during his time at
the university.

"When I was here 1 did a project on old
English landscapes* so after 1 graduated
I continued to make that work, but not
in a specific lime or place,” Stewart said

So you have nine pieces of work from
nine different artists. But perhaps what
is just as important is these works also
come in nine different form The vari¬
ety in this regard b crystal dear as each
piece carries an aspect of intrigue, which
is inherent to the build You have Artu¬
ro Herreras "274,200 Stitches,” which
is a dothing and mixed media hybrid

Then theres the work of robotics and

you will immediately suspect, is track¬
ing your movements, especially when

see, it will be the first and last piece of

evitably be drawn to file starkly unique

but in also wanting to make art I kind of
merged these two passions of mine,” de

Nkotas de Cossons “ DisckCandy/SugarData ” is on display at Artdte Inc* as part of the Nine exhibit which

runs until Feb. 27.

This particular piece; de Gossan said
took a year to slowly piece to

to implement the artistry behind it The¬
matically it plays on the flawless images
of men and women The screen hem¬
orrhages lines of code juxtaposed with
a male or female 3D model as they go

de Cosson hopes challenges those who

Mistakes Prove Costly In Spitfires Loss
To CHL’s Top-Ranked Erie Otters

BRETTHEDGES

News Editor

The Windsor Spitfires teamed a valu¬
able lesson this past weekend as to why
the Erie Otters are the top-ranked ma¬
jor junior hockey team in the Canadian
Hodcey League,

The Spitfires fought bark from defeats
of 2-0 and 4-2 but ultimately fdl short
in a 5-4 loss to Otters in front of over
5,000 fens at the WFCU Centre Ed?. 6.
Spits head coach Rocky Thompson said
his team did a great job of being physi¬
cal and wearing down the Otters* but a
bevy of bad turnovers at ^opportune
times ted to tiigh-caliber scoring chanc¬
es that Erie did not miss out on

“Everything they' scored off of was di¬
rectly off of a turnovers on just hair
brain crrorsT Thompson said Tm hap¬
py' about a lot of things we did tonight
but Tm really disappointed about some
ofthe things and at the end of the day we
beat ourselves, We were very' physical
and laid some big open ioe hits, our fore
check was good and we generated a lot
of scoring chances and we scored four
goals but ife a ho our fault for not scor¬
ing goals on plays that people should be
scoring oa We were here ready to play
we just didn’t bear downT

Windsor center Logan Brown had one
goal and an assist in the game* and said
the team wanted to make a statement to
the league that theyare on their way no

mater how mail they wrodoubredai

the beginnii^ oftte year

^We-re right up there with all of the
teams who have loaded up to go for it
but tonight Erie capitalized on every
mistake we made!' Brown said “But
you’ve got to take the positives and there
were a lot of positives but too many neg¬
atives that cost us this game Obviously
this was a big one and its frustrating be¬
cause we lost it oursdvesT

The Spitfires out-shot the Otters 36-29
in the contest and played at similar cal¬
ibers throughout the opening 18 min¬
utes but a defensive zone turnover by
Mikhail Sergachev squirted to Erie cen¬
ter Dylan Stonie who quickly passed it
to his line mate and the GHE leading
goal-scorer Alex DeBrineat, who made
no mistake when he decked around
Spits goalie Mike DiPietro for his 37th
oftheyearanda I-Q Erie lead at the first
intermissioa

“Were on the power play' late in the first
and have a guy not paying attention and
have a tired player make a mistake and
we give up a lone goal to the person
who just so liappen to lead the league in
godsT Thompson said T& crazy to do
those types of thirds”

The Lance Contributor

The Lancer menk basketball team
climbed to a record of 9-6 over die
weekend by tipping over die 4-10
Lamentkn Voyageurs 82 -62 before
pushing past the 2-12 Npssing Lakers
93 - 71 the nod: night to complete the
home-and-home sweep.

Although they lost the services of fresh-
man forward Randy Oriakhi along the
way interim head coachRyan Steer said
it is always nice to take care of home
court with a pair of wins.

'Were gating more comfortable play¬
ing in front of our home fensT Steer said
'With two more home games to come
toward toe end of toe season, that will
be important because we need to dose
those out as wdL [Over L&irenfian], of¬
fensively we came out and played with
some intensity When teams come to
play tbeyre not going to give us any-
thmweWapUotiMUkeC

The Lancers created scoring margins in
the first and third quarters* catching the
Voyageurs off guard on both occasions
to establish foear up tempo preference
Steer said there were a couple mental
lapses defensively eady in the first half
[against Nipissing], but finally took
care of them in the fourth quarter* wfth
great defensive intensity which led to 29
points off of the Lakers turnovers.

Performance wise, Mac Campbell led
aU scorers with 24 points cm 59 per cent

shooting Feb. 5. Marico Kovac, Isiah
Osborne and lyier Persaud tallied for
15,13 and 12 points for the blue and
gold, which shot an outstanding 49 and
5L7 per cent from two-point and three-
point land respectively David Ammo-
laran and Sam Huist counter with 17
points each for the Voyageurs.

"They gave us a different look with the
zone, but we passed the ball wdi and at¬
tacked the seams,” Steer said Instead of
trying to go one-on-one and beat it our¬
selves, fe good that we bad some unself¬
ish play and that starts with Alex. When
he grts in the paint and he shares the
ball other guys have to follow Hfeb really
becoming a great leader. He also does
whatever we ask ofhim on toe defensive
end The way he goes is how we go”

The next day Campbell again lead all
scorers scorching the Lakers by scor¬
ing 16 of 22 baskets over aU padi^ all
scorers with 2 7 points, four boards, five
assists and two steals in a wdl-rounded
effort. Campbells effo rt? _
matched hv Kirvac, scoring 24 points*
hauling down four rebounds, dishing
out seven assists and collecting five
steals. Osborne and Persaud rounded
out the double figure scoring for the
Lancers with 18 and 12 points respec¬
tively

Campbell said he feels like the Lancers
are at a stage where they have to take
advantage of every game to get better as
they strive toward the pbyofe

“We still have an opportunity to shake

Kevin Dinardo gave him the thumbs to
shut down warm-up early and deared
4.80 and 4,95 meters on his first at¬

"There were guys jumping 5.40 meters

“For long jump I have been focusing
on maintaining a strong takeoff kg

sprinting events, I attempt to run re¬
laxed as 1 dose in on the finirii line. This
meet served as a good teaching point in
both of those major focuses so I now
know what I have to do to jump farther
and run faster next time"

ft was tough for Omahen to hide her ex-
eftement when ft comes to the potential
die Windsor women have of perhaps
getting on the podium in the team event

“When all of those pieces fit we will have

Women’s Hoops Dominate 2016 NBA All-Star Games

KIMELLIOT

The Lance Contributor

The Lancer womans basketball team
took care of business as usual by hand¬
ing out two dominant victories over the
Laurentian Voyaguers and Nipissing
Lakers on home court at the St. Denis
Centre this past weekend

First the Lancers silenced the 3*11 Lau¬
rentian Voyageurs by defeating them
79-41 prior to the athletic department
observing their lOth Annual Breast
Cancer Awareness day and equally
humbling the 2-12 Nipissing Lakers
with a 74-40 victory

The pair of victories cost the blue and
gold dearly however, as veteran forward
Andrea Kiss tore her Achilles tendon
and will sit out for the rest ofthe season,

“Up until [that] day I would say that we
had the best 3-4-5 man combination in
the countryf said head coach Chantal
Vallee "But we’ve now lost AiC to inju¬
ry in addition to [transfer guard] Erica
McEadden to injuries for the rest of the
season”

Vallee said the Lancers are also lack¬
ing performance leadership but saw
glimpses of all-star quality play from
Steer against the Voyageurs Lancer

guard Steer supported Cheyanne Rog¬
er’s game-high 20 points with 19 of her
own, dropping six straight shots from
beyond the an: and shooting 13 of 20
overall from the floor Emily Prevost
and Alyssa Cerino also arpported the
winning cause with 11 points apiece

Tt was great to see Cady Steer step up
again, but to go without two starters ev¬
eryone else needs to have good ^mes
more consistently^ said Vallee. 4 We can¬
not afford to have players having very
good games and then they don't show
up. Thatfc going to be the main issue
and thats what l see with my team right
now. Is that were lacking this consisten¬
cy. And so thats what we ve been asking
from every single player on the team.”

Adrienne Moreau tallied nine points
and Emily Tinnes scored eight points
as the Lancets defense prevented
any and aS of the i^urentian play¬
ers from scoring in double figures.
Steer said itwas good to get bade in front
of thdr home fens and get a couple of
good wins after beii^ on the road.

“Now Fm hoping for a tough and hand
week at practice so we can use the mo¬
mentum from this weekend to prepare
forQueens and take advantageofa great
opportunity playing at the Enercare
Centre," Steer said

In addition to playing tenadous defense

against the Voyageurs, Windsor also
pounded the opposition into submis¬
sion offensively in all for quarters while
out-irfxiunding them 45- 2 L

Against the Lakers the next night the
Lancers refused to allow any opponent
on the other team to score in double
figures while taking advantage of their
offensive prowess to earn a decisive vic¬
tory.

Roger said the two wins at home were
very important as well as learning how
to maintain their levd of play against
teams who may not be as strong as those
they will fece come playoff time.

‘Its time for us to start peaking Roger
said “Andrea is definitely a big presence
offensively, but also on the defensive
boards. We will just have to pick it up
for her We all individually needtoaep
up if we want to give ourselves a shot
We have to push through the adversity
and work as hard as we can. The
against queens will be a big one, Ife go¬
ing to be tougher than our preseason
against them, especially with the loss of
AK,but rfwe stkdk to coaches game plan,
execute our tasks and perform, it will be
agoodgame“

Prevost carried the bad offensively
against the Lakers and set the pee with
a 20-poinL 10 rebound double-double

whkh allowed the home team to pull
ahead 7-3. The lions fought back with
a mini-surge but the Windsor passing
was superior to go along with strong

Gyemi all weekend and it paid off es¬
pecially against the Lions in the form
of 20 kills and eight digs while Edwards
finished with 15 lolls and seven blocks.
Tyler Covach was the lions top per¬
former with 15 kills and six digs while
Szwarc finished the game with 14 trills

In "The Witness” you play as nobody,
an avatar with only a shadow. You start
off in the thick of an abandoned island,
trying to piece together the remnants
of its history and culture ator^ the way.
There is one obstacle in your path,
whkh is multiplied in the hundreds.
These obstacles are panels, whkh test
your memory dexterity, and most of
all perception. Some are simple, while
others pose as serious challenges. Per¬
sistence is important when it comes to
progressing, for said progress depends

on how much you’re willing to leamand
adapt

In 'The Witness” you play as yourself

To say anything about the pusfcs them¬
selves would be a spoiler in itself as the
challenge provided is an essential aspect
to the experience. There are over 600
puzzles across a vibrant and diversified
island There are no items to colled* no
cut scenes to trigger, not even so much
as a user interface to interact with. All
you have are the panel puzzles, which
vary substantially in design and meth¬
od Solving puzzles leads to access to
new ones and in turn new areas as well

Initially there was some disappointment
in the fact fogisticaffly this is all there isto
it But once the challenge is ramped up,
the g^me can pose to intimidate oiui
mental framework Many of the puzzles
operate strictly within the pands while
others carry external yet implicit fac¬

towards a highly educated guess* but it
underlines the core component of hav¬

ing to figure it out for yourself

Youre able to tend to many puzzles
right off the bat Your knowledge upon
solvingthem partly has to do with how
it interplays with foe environment But
those hints only go so for Understand
ing a lot of the puzzles goes in tandem
with understanding the symbols within,
and even upon undemanding them
youll constantly be thrown a puzzle,
whkh wiD stump you and increase the
fconptation to throw in the towd Fortu¬
nately foe setting allows you to veer off
and try other puzzles in case one ends
up becoming too tough.

The island itself is inetkufously detailed
for even the smallest audio and visual
cue could lead to a substantial hint to¬
wards a solution for an upcoming chal ¬
lenge. It does this on top of providing a
great deal of mystery to the deliberately
fragmented narrative Travemngthe is¬
land certainly lends a let from the classic
“Mysf adventure series. There are ra>
characters to interact with. The only
people you see are completely still in the

form of a stone bust either making a
particular gesture which implies its own
context or seeing their dress which hints
towards a certain time period For extra
detail you seldom find audio recordings
of those who occupied the island, but
nothing is ever spdt out for you.

What happened on the island wholly
depends on how you piece the imagery
together, and i& highly fosdnating since

A full decade after obtaining the Riv¬
erside Sports Centre, Riverside Ravens
Floor Hodey president Ron Ottogafli
isn't at all surprised by the staying power
of this annual event

“I could see it going on for another 10
years,” Ottogafli said

Tied in with Hodey Day in (Canada,
the morning and eariy afternoon ofFeix
6 had kids gearing up for a few rounds
of floor hodey at the sports centre lo¬
cated in Windsor's east-end Children
between kindergprten and Gt 8 took up
both gymnasiums at the sports centre
and feced off in the name of good ftia

As the event has no standing or pky-
o0$ to consider* it served as an avenue to
promote good values, at least according
to Krista Munroa as she watched her
eight-year-old daughter move about the
con crete rink.

T think sportsmanship is important,
getting active is important, and just
meeting people, making friends and
having fun, Munroa said

OttogaUi reinforces the belief of kids
needing to be active, and as a result the
floor hodey event is one of several op¬
tions to do so* He also finds there to be
great deal of convenience in regards to
setting it up* Floor liockey games do not
require an extensive amount of equip¬
ment to set up a proper match The cere
tre supplies the sticks, picks and jerseys
for the kids die moment they walk in
The only catch is a $75 entry fee, which
is used to keep the operation running*

Since the event is almost entirely driven
by the efforts ofvolunteers, he credits a
lot of the end result to his board of di¬
rectors*

**We have really dedicated board mem¬
bers who are here every Saturday’ Otto-
galli said "They all have different func¬
tions, and they're very committed to the
program”

Ottogafli lias every intention to keep
the tradition going, but has no particu¬
lar plans in expanding the program Its
not something entirely ruled out ail the

same, for an expansion initiative could

‘We’re trying to establish a new brand

The elections will be tied hand in hand
with the UPass referendum, which is

created this course bearing in mind
that most of them are going to have to
teach an online course at some point in
timeT said Nfck Baker, director of open
learning and education 'The certificate
program allows those who take it to not
only achieve a certificate at the end of
it, but to also be able to buM a working
and top-of-the-line online program”

“AH around the world theres a push
for a higher standard for higher edu¬
cation and Ontario is really pushing
online courses so . students can access
the courses the need from the best op¬
erating schools in the given program,”
said Baker lt Were no exception here at
Windsor WeVe increased the number
of online courses again this year by 20
per cent and we don't see that slowing
down anytime soon.”

Baker said the COOL course vM hdp

develop these online courses by teach¬
ing new faculty to build them He said
he hopes to see the entire new faculty
and some of the current ones take this
course and Seam the basics.

There are currently 110 courses avail¬
able and according to Baker, the num¬
ber should double in the next 5 years.

The university is also working to have
tO new programs available completely
online in the next few years.

Black History Celebration
an Educational Family Affair

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

With February mark ing black history
month, numerous events have appealed
across the dty with the intent on cele¬
brating African lieritage, with one event
proving to be a recent example all while
providing a different perspective.

From the morning to the evening of
Feb 20, Club Alouette was the venue for
the debut of the Windsor-Detroit Black
History Celeb ratioa It was structured in
a way which is rather commonplace by
having a series of local vendors present
tied with art displays and live perfor¬
mances all pertaining to the joys of Af¬
rican culture. However, the attendance
of the event was admittedly meager, for
as you walked inride wh^ was most ap-
parent were the numerous emfrty chairs
and tables.

Yet this did not seem to affect event or¬
ganizer Jarmina Weatherspoon, as she

was sunounded entirely by loved ones.

‘1ft a great experience for our family to

come together and celebrate black his¬
tory Witherspoon said “The lack of
attendance from other people is not a

Most of the attendees knew each oilier
through blood Weatherspoon put the
event on with her husband for she want¬
ed her three sons to be educated about
black history Education proved to be a
prominent theme during the event, par¬
ticularly its value and how it may some¬
times be taken for granted

Marvin Dahn is the founder of Left
Celebrate Liberia, a charitable organi¬
zation based in Toronto which assists
in the development of education in one
Liberian village He has helped build
a 10-dassroom mud school thus far,
and said the challenges, which come in
making these developments, remain

ovenvhelming.

Dahn said the nation of Liberia lias
been in turmoil following the country s
14-year dvil war, and as a result the
mentalities of its inhabitants are severely
compromised By reaching out to the
youth in one of many Liberian villages,
Dahn hopes to use the repetitive struc¬
ture of schooling to veer them towards
a greater path.

“My dream is one day that village school
will grow into a junior high school* or
maybe a vocational school where some¬
body will learn some skOT Dahn said
"There are about 96 kids in that school,
so even if I have 10 from there to go to
college, I will have done a great thing! *

One of the featured vendors had a sim¬
ilar objective in mind just in a different
region Save African Child Uganda, or
SACU was formed in 2010. The orga¬
nization aims to improve the overall
quality of Jiving for those reridii^; in the
Ugandan village of Buwunda Part of
this involves constructing schools, but

David Green* the director tor faculty de-
vefopment at Seatde University and key¬
note speaker at the event said teachers
have entered a middle ground fidd that
balances the official tides of an educator
with many other aspects.

"It is a curiously hazy space with deep
responsibility and often minimal au-
thorityf said Green.

He said leading from the middle may
be hard to da but from it, can come
lhe best teaching and ways to overcome
tasks otherwise impossible.

Greens presentation, titled "intentional¬

types of tensions educators coroe across

Another keynote speaker, Maiy^Wilsoa
director of the centre for academic ex¬
cellence at Nbgra College, talked about
the borderiands that educators work in

Jane Austens ""Pride and Prejudice"
needs no introduction* The novd en¬
dured for centuries as it has graced
almost every storytelling medium out
there with a particular focus on theatre,
Horn Feb. 19 to 21, the Riverfront The¬
atre Company's senior ensemble put on
their fwoduction of foe novel at foeOidc
Whiter* Theatre The adaptation of
the novd was done by Rforironfs exec¬
utive director Kristina Garswood, who
oo-wrote it with her daughter Caroline
and said the script Is takhfo] to the book,
on top of it serving as an education for
foe acting ensemble,

“We put the kids on stage three times
a year When we bring the seniors on
stage in January or February ids meant
to bean educational challenge for tbem, ,,
Garswood said.

Development of foe project began as
early as September Garswood noted
how with each week, a segment, plot
dement or theme was traced over to
teach the students* They also had to
katn proper etiquette, gping as for as
to have an all manners day whkh had
them focus on posture and mannerisms
authentic to the material

The play was under the direction of
Kerri JubenviBe, a fourth year Drama
BH honors student whtifc been with the
KTC for the past couple of years as a di¬
rector and set designer. She found one of
the biggest challenges of the production

She admitted it caused some strain on
foe kids, but they stayed committed in
tackling the challenge.

are a hard thing to pursue, but having a
background wiih education allows thrir
range to increase and be looked upon as
diverse,”

While they mainly do kid-friendly pro¬
ductions, JubenviBe believes ift import¬
ant for any actor to be mufti-laceted,
leading to a project like ""Pride and Prej¬

their early careers. By also grasping the

ROHANKHANNA

The Lance Contributor

The mere with the mouth offidafiy
makes his wdkkserved comeback at-
ter the debacle we had to bear because
of his iteration in X-Men Origins Wol¬
verine. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Morena
Baccarin, Gina Carano* TJ. Miller and
Ed Sarin to name a few, this is a love
letter for what foe fens wanted all along
with the anti-superhero who just hap¬
pens to have foe gift of gab.

Directed by Tim Miller, the narration
is a stirightfcrward reverse story life
is great for Wide Wilson (Ryan Reyn*
tods), a former US military assassin He

has the love of his life, Vanessa (Morena
Baocarin) and everything is going in his
favor But cancer shows its ugly side and
Wilson has to choose foe only option
of volunteering for the Weapon X pro¬
gram, foe same program that created
Woberineb powers. It is foe only way
that he can rid hfrnsdf of the disease.
Wilson is tricked obviously and the plot
expands further with him adopting foe
name "DeadpooF and going out on a
revenge spree for those responsible for
his condition.

What works for ""DeadpooF as a su¬
perhero movie is its tenacity to swim
in uncharted waters that usually other
superhero trims nowadays do not dare

to venture through. It is aimed for the
adult audience and thafc how the char¬
acter has always been in comic books.
Yes, foe villain Aiax (Ed Sknrin) is a one
dimensional villain, yes foe story is fore¬
seeable from foe get go, but the movie
knows that and is not ashamed to men¬
tion it through the constant breaking
of the fourth wall by the red spandex
hero The various pop culture references
are sprinkled throughout foe film and”
DeadpooF manages to create a balance
as to when to morion them

X-men characters like foe Colossus and
Negasoni c Teenage Warhead make ap¬
pearances and are not just mere cameos,
ft is delightful to see “DeadpooF team

up with them and never shutting his
mouth ever on his adventure Reynolds
was bom to play this role and it dearly
shows his undeniable passion through¬
out foe course of the movie.

The action is slick and foe jokes are hi¬
larious, the stuff that is expected from a
“DeadpooF movie. The best part is foe
feet drat in an age of superhero film ad¬
aptations, thdr tales tend to take them¬
selves too seriously ""DeadpooF does
the opposite of foal and dares to take
jabs at himself and everyone else and

succeeds in that process,

"DeadpooF is like the Hack sheep in
a herd of the other goody two shoes
superhero films. It manages to barge
through than with its zaniness and cre-
ate a niche of its own It is a movie that
folly realizes foe character of the men:
with a mouth and yes he does not have
to disown his spandex as one just can¬
not have enough him, especially after
this film. Go “chimichansas.”

Exhibit Focuses on
Notion of Healthy Living

HANIYASS1NE

Arts Editor

What does it mean to live a good life?
What does a good life constitute? The
answer varies from person to person.
Some may say a sound body and mind
while the answer from 14-year old
fazmine MoCalium can be boiled down
to a single woid freedom

T think a healthy lifestyle comes from
the beholder!’ McCalhim slid Toure
holding your own fete and what you do
to your body is up to you*

McCalium was among the 52 youths
aged from four to 17 who had their
work displayed at the Native Ifouth
Art Project from Feb. 15 to 20 at the
Artspeak GaHery. Presented by the
Can-Am Indian Friendship Centre*
the recepttonfeh 16 had several people
coming through the doors to see an ar¬
ray of drawings and paintings eadh one
intended to showcase what it means to
Uve a healthy life.

"ft was really exciting when the entries

started coming** said Can-Am Execu¬

tive Director Renae Hill h is different
for everyone, and theres no wrong an¬
swer*

With each piece on display, there was a
tag which showed the artists name, age
and the home nation* which they rep¬
resented The project initialiy stemmed
from Can-Am healthy kids worker Jo¬
anne Mitchell who found the answers
the children expressed to be nothing
short of empowering. The underling
objective Is to highlight positive points
of view with the project, which is partly
based within the virtues of the indig¬
enous culture. By higliiighting this as¬
pect, she finds it becomes the centre of
discussion between children, parents
and general community members,

'It starts a dialogue in die community”

Mitchell said ^Everything's connected
living in healthy environment, having
a heakhy body, heaving a healthy mind
immunity family its all connected”

Marketing Workshop Touches
on Design Fundamentals

HANIYAS51NE

Arts Editor

There laid an array of dean and crisp¬
ly designed posters on the table, just as
how there were messy and clutteredex¬
amples as wdl

The lobby area of the Capitol Theatre
acted as the setting for a rrarkting
workshop on the earfy evening of Feb
16, Described as a poster show and tell
by Windsor Symphony Orchestra mar¬
keting coordinator Shdtey Sharpe, the
one hour event aimed to analyze and
critique a series of posters which would
essentially pave the way for the general
public to learn a thing or two when it
comes to visual designs made to pro¬
mote a service or event

*TAfe want to he^p everybody fed good
about the event that they're promoting
and do a better fob at getting the word

out there and draw people to moresuc-

Some of the examples of good design
highlighted by Sharpe included a sense
of concision and a visual hook to lidp
draw in people who may passvdy walk
by a poster. She stressed how a poster
should never have too much informa¬
tion, as people usually don't iookat an ad
for longer than roughly seven seconds.
It must ckariy and effectively answer
whai Sharpe finds to be the three most
important questions: Is there personal
interest in the event, when it wiB hap¬
pen, and where more information can
be found

The workshop is part ofaseries direct
towards user and community groups
who wish to promote their events in
and around the dty By having a pn>tip
workshop such as this one, Sharpe be¬
lieves it can lead to a reinforced commu¬
nal bond

Tf were aide to do that for people
downtown, it builds a stronger busi¬
ness community!’ Sharpe said It builds

a stronger performance and orituraJ

community

Numerous good and bad examples of poster designs lay on a table at the Captiol Theatre Marketing Work¬
shop which occurred Feb. 16.

Street Fighter V — A Complete
Review of an Incomplete Game

HAN I YASSINE

Arts Editor

STREET FIGHTER V

PUBLISHER:

CAPCOM

DEVELOPER:

CAPCOM

PLATFORMS:

PLAYSTATION 4, PC

Theres a heightened level of investment
when it comes to the “Street Fighter”
franchise, for it can evoke feelings be^
yond the enfoyroent of avideo game As
someone who prefers the single pl^rer
experiences this medium has to offer,
no other series is unable to unleash a
competitive spirit which pushes me to
succeed in the multiplayer landscape
The series is demanding in this regard,
as youB spend hours upon hours per¬
fecting combos* counters and studying
tiie nuances ofyour opponents. The air¬
tight fighting mechanics and aiguahfy
perfected roster encourages you to con¬
stantly break your skill ceiling and strive
to become a formidable competitor

It is for these reasons, which made

“Street Fighter” such an immaculate
fighting series, and the torch is* more or
less, passed on accordingly with “Streel
Fighter V

The core game play is as strong and
tightly controlled as ev er. Il makes a cou¬
ple of major alternations and numerous
Me adjustments off the fighting en¬
gine of its direct predecessor. The EX
meter for specials remain intact which
is paired with a new V-Trigger gauge
which can up the ante up attacks and
lead to more intense and varied rounds.
The game carries a default roster of 16
characters. You have the iconic such as
Ryu and Cammy, as wdl as some fresh
feces like the literally electrifying Nash
and tiie gusted Arabian prince Rashid

Some of the newer characters are orig¬
inal designs with others being devia¬
tions from past roster raembas who
are absent this time around While the
cast is considerably shorter compared
to 'Street Fighter IV; each of the 16
fighters are exceptionally well varied,
canying diversified move sets aD while
maintaining a proper balance of depth
and accessibility. No fighter gives you
an unfair advantage, biding to match¬
es where the one who wins is the one

who makes the smartest decisions and
thequidtestreactk^
glorious while the defeats are crushing
From newcomers to veterans, the satb-
(action remaim the sameL The sensation
of playing against friends or online foes
keeps to the intensity and heart-pound-
ing moments the series Is famed for.

Piair this with die games vibrant and
sporty visual design, and you have a
fighter for the ages. The core game play
is everything yodd want and expect it
to be, and you can imagine it creating a
solid foundation where lasting appeal is
more than apparent. However therein
Iks the games biggest issue, for Cap-
com decided to release the game with a
staggering amount of missing features,
which are commonplace to the genre
In all feimess, they initially revealed this
beforehand, noting how more features
will sfowfy be added in the gune follow¬
ing its release. But whafs surprising and
frankly disappointing is in finding out
just how much is indeed missing.

For starters, the story mode content is
extremely thin. On average, a fighter^
stray segment carries two single round
figfrls, which cm be finished literally in
seconds since there are no difficulty set-

lii^toadfostthenearbiam-deadaMn-
puter Al The actual story aspects aren’t
even worth noting, ks it relies on basic
illustrations, which are tied with goofy
diaracteri 2 ations and plain bad voice
acting. Arcade mode, whkh is consid¬
ered a genre staple, is completely absent
and seemingly replaced by the survival
mode which carries a set of difficulty
modifiers and objectives. Also, while
a trainirg mode is present, the combo
sessfom frtHn "^reet Fighter IV*" are ^
wherelobeseercwhjdiisveryunfortu-
nate as itwas a good way for newcomers
to leam the ropes.

So aside from a laughable story mode
and survival, theres no other piece of
singje-pkyer content oirrentiyavaM^fe
This decision outright alienates new¬
comers who may notwari the game for
its online component, whkh in itsdf Is
abo missing features such as friend lob¬
bies and match spedatorship. Ife bizarre
as to how some of the most basic genre
features are nowhere to be seen in whafe

faked upon as an fig hte* - lfi&

also infuriating for Capcom to blatant¬
ly release an unfinished product with a
$70 price tag. Especially upon consid¬
ering how these features were present
in “Street Fighter IVT no excuses can be
made in this manner.

Yet despite this, I can't stop playing. Whh
tire online being the games main draw;
Capeom knocked it out of the park due
to the core game play and the solid net
code. To a certain degree, you may fed
like you’re getting your moneys worth,
but this is ifyou get the game almost ex¬
clusively for this component Knowing
more features will be added on through¬
out the yrarl^in^ocHTifort to tiie situa¬
tion But until ft actually arrives, ifs diffi-
cull to recommend this gime to anyone
who cherishes his or her singfo-piayer
content, for it is way too hollow in this
regard But for those really itching to
compete online and stake thdr daim to
virtual glory, then perhaps you needn’t
lock any further, for the king of filters
has arrived

da and on M way they have been
Lng across supporters to host events with

outside suggestion for the two guys but
they said they are very grateful for the

ferent ways because its a neurological
disease*' said Denonvfik 'The people
coming out is amazing and its making
a real difference tor people Wecoukfrft
ask for anything mom.”

Huntington Disease is hereditary and
thane b a 50 per cent chance of getting it
if a patient is a carrier* It can be the cause
of emotional turmoil cognitive toss, and
pirysical deterioration. There is no cure
for the disease and it is very fetal

‘Theres a mix of people today. Ordinary
people^ cydists - everyone came out to

show his support

DenortviUe said they set exit to raise
$10,000 but he has no doubt they will
surpass that number:

Laura Ryan, owner of Pursuit Massage
Therapy and Sport Recovery Gentry
who hosted the event* said she reached
out to 2Guys4WhedslCause because
she loves to hdp out where she caa

“Its overwhelming to have the response

Three Minute Thesis Registrations

Open to Grad Students

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

Those writing a dissertation, thesis or
ma jor paper may want to take thdr con ¬
tent onto a more competitive scale

Registrations for the 4th annual Three
Minutes Thesis are offidaDy open to
graduate students who are active during
the winter semester r Ihe academic
competition, which originated in 2008

by the University of Queensland in Aus¬
tralia, involves students condensing the
objectives and impacts witliin a doctoral
dissertation, research paper or masters
thesis towards a laymans audience in
three minutes or less.

By piadng an immense amount of re¬
search content in a compact form* the
competition serves as a lesson in provid-
mg an efficient oral presentation.

Tts a professional development oppor¬
tunity? said Graduate Studies dean Dr

Patricia Weir: “If you've ever heard of a
two-minute elevator pitch where you
have two minutes to ride up in an eleva¬
tor and tell somebody what it is thai you
dot Ms b similar to that“

Weir noted the criteria employed
originates from the standards used at
Queensland The three aspects judges
will be looking for are communication,
comprehension and engagement Since
part of the competition involves pre¬
senting the content to a non- specialized

audience, the oral reciting of the thesis
must dearfy identify the main pants of
the topic being discussed as wdl as why
\£s important

Participants will be allowed to accom¬
pany the speech with a single slide, but
Weir staids the visuab are for the audi -
ence above all else.

The speaker should not be focusing
solely on the slide, because if its not
there, the speaker should be able to de¬
liver the talk the same wayf Weir said

The competition heats will go from
Mar 22 to 24 at Katzman Lounge,
with the Mat 30 finals being held at
the Ambassador Auditorium- Mae in¬
formation on the Three Minute Thesis

at the university levd

1 couldrit be more proud of my guys.
To play a game like that with eight first

the way we did was very gratifying,”
Hamlin said *What we’ve known about
tins league aB along is that ifs a \ f rieran
league but having veterans come bade
is not as important as hungry veterans
coming back and its going to be really
important our guys to remember how
this fctt and channel that into a positive
direction”

Special teams were the story ofthe game
as four of the five goals were scored with
the man advantage. The Gryphons got
on the board first when Robert Lepine
took a pass from Nick Trecapelli and
fired the puck past Lancer goakender
Mike Doan less than five minutes into

goals to take a 2-1 lead at the midway

Going into thdr final game of the teg¬
ular season, the Windsor Lancer worn -
eris hockey team knew one of their three
dynamic scoters would win the league
scoring tide and they sure made it inter¬
esting leading up to the final bu22er

In the end, second-year forward Krystin
Lawrence finished the regular season
first overall with 31 points, registering
13 goals and a league-high 18 assists to
take home the honor - although nipping
at her beds however were line-males
Shawm Lesperance and Erinn Nose-
worthy, who finished with 30 and 29
points respectively

‘T definitely didn't want to end my sea¬
son like this and itb a great accomplish¬
ment especially only being in second

wouldn't be possible without my team-
mates* M hard to get to the top but its

and Noseworthy, finished third over¬
all with 29 points and second in assists
with forming a nearly unstoppable
line that almost got Windsor within a
pbyoffberth with thdr second half pro¬
duction afone*

“What us three have accomplish just in
one half of the season is crazy. Were a
dangerous threat together and Vm sure
teams already see featf said Lawrence,
who was also an all-star goalkeeper in
varsity soccer ‘Tiopdully with us all
coming back next year with this ac¬
complishment and having new recruits
come in* it will even make us that much
better and I carit wait for whal the three

regulation until thdr 11th game of the
season but then went on to win seven

in striking range of the e^hth and feral
playoff spot Unfortunately the Lancm
would drop thdr final four contests ml
finish the regular season outside of the
pkyofis with an 8-15-1 record

T think fee most the team learned this
season is feat it takes heart and hard
work every garnet 1 Lawrence said “Not
just one or two but every single game
and if we don't then what happen to us
first halfwill happen again."

Windsor assistant coach Chris Lean¬
ing said fiie first half wasn't pretiy and

fherefc a lot of work to do but there were
also several questions that definitely got
answers as the Lancers look forward to
next season.

‘In the second half we starting to come
around as a team and began competing
in gam es which gave us opportunities
to win. Statistically we improved in ev¬
ery category and even finished wife the
2nd best power play in fee league! 1 said
Leaning. "We also had fee top three
scorers in fee league as well as the sec¬
ond highest scoring defenseman Natalie
Barnette who had 17 points in 23 fsgimes-
Astde from those four we lacked sec¬
ondary scoring and ifs difficult to win
that way!*

The Lancers also suffered a huge loss in
the lineup when Jiliian Rops broke her
collarbone in a game against the Nipiss-
ing Lakers. The next afternoon Wind¬
sor foiled to win a pivotal gime against
the Laurentian Voyageurs, which began
a 2-6 slide to end the season,

"Not only was she one of our captains,
shes our hardest working player every
night who blocked shots, killed penal¬
ties, and played big minutes shutting
down our oppositions top lines!* Lean¬
ing said ‘Moving forward to next sea¬
son we have some recruits coming to fill
holes in our lineups but still have some
needs to address. Therek a lot of work
to do and we definitely need to take a
dffferent qjproaeh as to how things are
dealt with.”

Potential is certainly high for die Lane-

captain and high-valued veteran plans
to return for a fifth season to lead the

healthy Rops and her high-power line^
mates. lector in Barrette on defense and

solid nucleus to build around for the

medal

*t>ur seniors really wanted this match¬
up because they felt they let the last one

Hodgson said “Mac is a team wtfwhad
some success against but we couldn't
dose it ouL As a coach that gives me
confidence No one is rolling over us
and were rolling al the right time'

"We lost both games to Mac this sea¬
son however looking at the progress we
made between the first time we played
them to the last was reaBy great to seeT
Stirling said "We made adjustments
and grew as a group and reaDy pushed
Mac to the brink taking them to five
sets. Were going to have to buM off that
apin and will need some key piayeis
to really step up to lead us through this
match”

Stirling believes it will bevery important
for Windsor to stay together and sup¬
port each other since there are only a
few veterans who have played in a play¬
off setting before.

*Our team feeds off each others energy
and whenwe play together we can hdd
our own with any opponent," Stirling’
said 4 *We will really need to keep our
cod and lead by example for the young¬

the lancers came back to earn a hard
fought 25-21 set win to hand the Hues
only their third set loss of the entire sea¬
son

“Toronto hasn't lost a set since Hallow¬
een so itwas impressive to see the aiergy
we had from that alone,” said Hodgson.
“Did we play our best? No But they are
a great team. We have great defensive
players and we finished the season dose
to where we wanted to be but threw
away two games. Despite entering the
playofls on a three-game losing streak

The Windsor Lancer meris volleyball
team ended the QUA regular season
outside of the leagues playoff race with
a 7-12 record this year but thanks to the
example set by their seniors the squad
has a lot of reasons to be optimistic look¬
ing toward the future.

The Lancers were hampered by a slow
start to the season and needed to win
their final two matches against the Ry-
erson Rams and Toronto Varsity Blues
as well as have the CIS top-ranked
McMaster Marauders defeat the York

Head coach James Gravdles ever-resii-
ient squad pulled off an upset over Ry-
erson in the opening round that would
not be the case this year however, as

Lancers Basketball Surging Towards
Playoffs After Wins Over Western

KIMELLIOT

The Lance Contributor

it was a day of triumph and revenge
for the Lancer womens and metis bas¬
ketball teams, as both overcame open-
ing-day losses to their perennial OUA
West rival counterparts # the University
ofWestem Ontario this past weekend

With identical 13-5 records, the Wind¬
sor womerfe team downed the Mus¬
tangs 76-64 on their home court at
Alumni Hall in London Feb. 20 and is
now tied for first place in the division.
The Lancer mere team also exacted
a hard earned 78-72 victory over the
'Stang* the same afternoon

Womens head coach Chama! Vallee
said she was very pleased with her team
alter the win because it was a wry phys¬
ical and trying game.

T am very impressed by my basketball
team right nowf Vaflee said 'After very
long week of practice, following the
rough loss to Queens, we had to have a
turning point Because we reafly had a
soft performance against theGadsr

When these two teams met earlier in
the season Western prevailed over the
Lancers 64-60, limiting Windsor to
their second lowest scoring total of the
season. However, it was the Lancers on
this occasion who prevailed with a 35
- 32 edge after the first half and then
outscored the "Stangs 41-32 in the sec¬
ond to walk away with a resounding
double-digit victory.

Despite Windsor outscoring West
em in every quarter and winning by
12, there were 10 ties and nine lead
changes throughout the match. Both
teams struggled to shoot the three but
the Lancers sank over 50 per cent from
within the are and also out rebounded
their resilient opponent 41-23.

Lancer co-captain Emily Prevost was
also proud of the squad and said it was
a great team wire

"We bounced back to queens and
played with a lot of energy, extremely
physical, and we had funT Prevost said
“We also achieved file small goals we
had set for oursdves, so were all quite
happy with the win. We know what
were capable ot“ so we plan on keeping
on this path as we work towards play¬
offs, Next weekend will be anofiier pair
of goodg^mes to order to makefile next

Prevosti 20 point and 10 rebound dou-
ble-doubie prochictkHi
Lancer power forward Cheyenne Rog¬
ers e/en more dominant 26 point, 10

Lancer guard Cady Steer almost
reached double digits in two categories

as well scoring 12 points and hauling in
eight rebounds. Rot the Stangs, Mack¬
enzie Puktkz poured in 23 points while
teammate Maddy Horst dkked for 17.

Windsors starting point guard Steer
said it was a very physical and competi¬
tive game on both skies of the ballwhich
made it an even bigger win coming off
ofthdr toss to Queerer

“As we lead into the end of the regular
season I think this game proved fiiat we
are peaking and will be ready for the up¬
coming ptayo&T Steer said 'Without
AK [Andrea Kiss] weal! have to step up
and perform, ft really is a team effort to
try and make up for everything that she
did on the court."

Vallee agreed with her point guard but
admitted she really wamt sure how
they were going to respond to that loss.
Thanks to a lot of solid performances
fro m her younger players, her mind was
eased early in the game

"Although we only have four true vet¬
erans back fiiis year, several of our
rookie players really showed iqsagfinst
Western and it was like we had eight
veterans," Vallee said “Kayiee Anagnos-
topoulos in particular is one of the most

rebound and snuck it around Hides,

Prior to the second-game ofthehome-
and-home the next afternoon in Wind¬
sor, Spitfires assistant coach ferrod
Smith said Gulina has been solid when¬

ever he has had his number called and
was given his second start in as many
days.

'Tie was really good on a couple pen¬
alty kills and made some saves off of
deflections he was able to react to so

we thought why not ride the hot hand’
Smith said ’Tie made some big saves
for us on breakaways and 3-on-Fs, Hes

ther guy in net”

Windsor would fall down 1-0 to the
Bulldogs 5:46 into the first on a marker

first time in 16 gpmes to ignite a large

nine points on their way to a resound¬
ing 6-2 victory over the Bulldog Fisch¬
er scored a pair of goals and added an
assist while his line mates both picked
up three helpers in thdr first game

his pair of goals pushed his season total
to 29 to go alongwith 43 assists for a 72
point total Fischer has been on fire in
February, compiling 17 points in just
three weeks.

*1 think the focus I have coming into
games has been to get pucks on the net
and it seems to be working out” Fischer
said. T haven’t put too much thought
into the pros but my goal would be to
make Arizona next year But weve got a
month left here and playoffe, so in terms
of goal-setting I think the first thing is
trying to bring a Memorial Cup hem”

Despite file pair of fosses the Bulldogs
remain in the eighth and final play¬
off spot in the OHIs eastern confer¬

manager George Burnett said he likes
the competitiveness his team has and

Academy Fundraiser Goes
Leg Deep in Irish Dance

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

With green being the predominant
dothing and lighting color, the night
was almost a prologue to St Patricks
Day,

It was a celebration of Irish culture, or
more specifically Irish dancing during
the Ardan Academy pub night fund¬
raiser on the evening of Mar 4 'the Vo¬
ters Edge event centre served as a fitting
way for patrons to be treated to some
traditional Irish muse, complete with
an inspired pub menu and, of course,
culturally enriched dance performances
from Ardan Academy students.

With adance hall originally in Livonia,
Mkh^an, the night marked a 30-year
anniversary of toe academy's Windsor
residence Among the teachers of the
academy was Shannon Thoms, who
said her mother was responsible for toe
Windsor location, noting how its been
growing pruvtorially ever met,

I was going to classes in Michigan, and

she just though 1 that Windsor should
have itsown Irish dance school” Thoms
said **Therds so many schools now
from here to Toronto than there ever
used to be^ whkh is niceT

According to Thoms, toe age group for
dancers usually fells anywhere between
tore^aFd2Z noting how some do it fcr
fun whik others treat it as a competition.
Among those who orforace Irish danc¬
ing for the latter is 18-year old Morgan
Muzzatti, whefe currently attending the
Umveisfty of Windsor as a visual art
magw with honors,

Muzzatti has been dancing for ar least
12 years, qualifying in both Canadian
and North American championships.
While sHefe dabbled in other forms of
dance such as hip-hop and lyrical she
finds herself nwre invested in the nu¬
ances of the Irish style.

"You don’t use your aims, the dresses
are very’ extravagant and different from
ballet, lyrical or anythk^ like that, and
its strictly leg and core strength!' Muz-
zaitisakl

Muraafti also ratfed how Irish dandng
isn’t without seme fierce CDmpetititm, as
they have thdr own regional national
and world championships. She essen¬
tially related it more to ballet on princi¬
ple, saying theres plenty of fine-tuning
and dedication towards what she ref¬
eree! to as a sport

“Pretty mudi perfection is the essence^
Muzzatti said You need to train like
you're in toe Olympics, and I find it re¬
ally drives me to do betted 1

All proceeds from the fundraiser will
go towards the dance halls competitive
touring runs across the continent

Canada’s Poet Laureate Comes to
Windsor to Share Works and Words

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

University ofWindsor professor; Marty
Gervais, held a self-named event to pro¬
mote spoken word poetry; music and
short stories,

The event, hekl at Ateleir Viigjniaiine,
brought out some local talent as well as
Canada Poet Laureate, George Elliot
Clarke, from Nova Scotia. The small
venue was filled up and brought out
mote than 80 people, a large portion
from the University ofWindson

Ckrke was the last performer of the
night and shared work from liis books
tf Wyiah Falk, Black and The Motor¬
cyclist; .'Viter hk performance, Ckrke
dialed his thoughts on his appointed
position of Poet Laureate and some of
the things he wants to do that no one
has done before,

‘The Poet Laureate has always been a
very background position and people
have chosen to not do a totf said Qaike.
Td like to be able to interact with differ¬
ent art projects across the country and
hdp fond them in partnership with dit 1

Parke said he is given money to fond

projects but it isn’t enough for him to
reach the goab he has set

T think it would be something worth
chasing to get Canadian poetry put on
the back of Canadian coins and bilk,”
said Clarke “The main thing k, I dorit
want to be sitting at home, I want to be
getting things started"

Qaike said some of his other goals are
getting poet maps put together to show
off where Canadas poets have come
from and creating a better art culture for
Canada asawhok

Oarices next work will be a true story-
based off the life of Canadian Charles
Spurgeo n Fletcher

Gervais, University' of Windsor profes¬
sor, host and talent for the amt, said
its amazing that they were able to get
someone like Clarke to come out to the
event but they were also really' excited
for ail the Windsor talent who came out
and took part, and assures there will be
additional events like this in the near
future

“We have so much talent in the area and
the fact we can fill out a room like this
is great to see” said Gervais. “Now that
we know we have this much of a draw,
we can start booking bigger venues and
inviting more people.”

A crowd of more than SO people gathered at the Aleteir Virginianne to listen to poetry ; music and short
stories performed by local artists and Canadian Poet Lauriei, George Elliot Clark.

Foundry Show Pays Tribute
to the Discontinued

HAN I YASSIN E

Arts Editor

For curator and visual arts student Bri-
ea-Qaskin Gay, its a matter of feding it
in your hands, seeing the craftsmanship
and the character, which comes with it

“People understand paints and colored
pencils, but they doht understand alu¬
minum and bronze and metal” Glaskin-
Qay said ‘'When you see something,
most people just see the final process,
but they don't see all the beautiful work
dial goes into it”

From Feb. 29 to Mar 4 di e LeBd
building's SoCA Gallery was home to
the second annual Foundry Art Show
Roughfy two-do^en works were on dis¬
play with the bulk of them showcasing
the melting and molding of aluminum
casts and other mataials to encompass
a meiailk sculpture

For Glaskin-Clay and fellow curator
Becky Listo foundry arts distinction
comes from how it prides itself on tex¬
ture and imperfection. They said cre¬
ating a sculpture, whkh in itself is an
extensive process, never turns out the
way youd expect through this meth¬
od Yet when a piece hits its final stage,
you learn to accept the inevitable dews,
which come with it

'The great thing about those processes
is each niistake is not actually a mistake
its your own workmanship, its your
own hand and it helps make your piece
unique,” Lisk said

From instrumental replications to intri¬
cate busts, there were a variety of sculp¬
tures on display, which demonstrated
how the students put the foundry to
use. One sculpture which found itself in
the middle of the gallery was "Point and
Shoof from student Evdine Csomor.
Itk a design, whkh is thematically on ihe
nose, but no less effective. The sculpture
consists of the body of a camera com¬
bined with the body of a rifle, winch
doubles as the cameras lens.

Csomor created the sculpture for a proj«
ect she ended up Ming, yet she said
upon including the work in the gallery,
it sparked a fair share of conversation.

The story can go both waysT Csomor
said "All it takes is one shot to 'make £
but there are a few conversations Fve
had about the other side of % where
sometimes people dorit want to have
their photo taken.”

In what is a celebration of the foundry
is also a bit of a send-off as well With
the impending move to the downtown
core from LeBd dated for 6112017, the
foundry will be a resource excluded
from the new building, replaced with a
3D modeling and printing system lisk
said there were attempts in petitioning
to keep it and finding an alternative
casting process for the new building but
she said a lot of the concerns 61 wfthin
border safety.

*We tried pushing for it, but it really
just came down to the emissions of the
new building,” lisk sakL Tedinotogy is
making its way 3D printing is evolving

My Journey to be the Very Best

CALEBWORKMAN

News Editor

There are few games that reach out
and have the ability to make you want
to spend countless hours on them and
there are even fewer that stand the test
of time.

In my journey through gaming, both
casual and hardcore, theres only one
game where I can switch from genera¬
tion to generation at any time and still
enjoy it as mud* as when it first came
out

Originally released in 1996, “Pakemotf
stole the hearts of children around the
world inducting my own, I started play-

mg a few years later but"Fokemon Red 1
was the first one I ever picked up and
started playing

My experience with Red was countless
hours of nothing dse but training my
one starter Ttokemon 1 - Giarizand,
obviously - and rushing through to beat
the champion and my rival of whom I
named fbohead The experience - riv¬
eting die battling - amazing and my feel
of aoDomplishment - nothing to com¬
pare to.

I took the concept of “FokemorC that
being to catch them all and completely
ignored it but still enjoyed rcsy experi¬
ence to what I thought at the time was
the fullest 16 funny how as you grow up

you team more about everything, even
fifing you thought you knew years aga

Since my initial play through when I
was five, I have gone bade and played
Red multiple times, I still have the same
cartridge. On top of that, Fve gotten to
experience “Fokernon” six more times
with all the new generations, spin-offs
and iterations of each game.

With these new generations and replays
of many, I have learned a lot about the
g^me whkh I Lgraned initially such as
'catching them all breeding, individual
values, effort values and so much more
that the gime has to offer.

In terms of living a life in a garner
TbkemfHi ’ is the game that most in¬

spired people to want to be in that
world and live that life It looks like
people might actually get the opportu¬
nity’ to live that like with the upcoming
“Pokemon Go” but tha6 another story.

From Generation 1 to Generation 6,1
have not missed one and the experience
is changing but I will say it has always
stock true to what it is, evsi if theres
lacklustre with the designs.

Many people complain the series lacks
originality and the compel fector that is
required for people to play but to that I
say as tong as new Fokemon are bang
released as long as new experiences are
available and as tong as the Pokedex is
ever evolving and changing, "Rtenon"

wfll always be a major player in the Irves
of many

Vs a game where you can be as casual
or hardcore with. There are no Unfits to
how far you can go, other than 99, but
even then theress always more to expe¬
rience.

w Pokemon” has been and will always
be something I can go back to and en¬
joy. Bfc not by any means my favourite
game but no other game has ever had
the drawback factor that this series has.

I took forward to the future of
Tbkemon" and the release of the
upcoming tides “Ftokemon Go” and
M Fokemc3n Sun and MoonT

Nursing Group Hosts Pediatric Safety Talk

HANIYASSIN6

Arts Editor

Room 203 of the Toldo building was
filled with nursing students and fecuity
alike for a recent medical seminai:

The Seaibdt of Healthcare was held on
the chilly morning of Mat 2. It aimed to
highlight file direct link between nurses
and patient safety in the profession of
pediatrics and beyond As the title sug¬
gests* nurses are referred to as seatbelts
of health care due to the extensive time
they spend with a patient compared to
other medical staff

“We are ihe patient advocates, but we
are also the last people before the patient
receives care, so we are the protectors
of the patienC said fourth year nursing
student and Patient Safety Champions
member Larissa Sdmmi

The featured speaker of the event was
Annette Scott, who serves at the Uni¬
versity of Michigan^ childrens hospital
as a dinical nurse specialist in pediatric
intensive care The objective of her talk
was to discuss the role of her job from
the medical insight to the day-to-day
duties and responsibilities.

1 am next to the frnrrtiine workers, and

today fd like to share a little bit about my
journey of quality and safety Scott said.
“The reason I choose a seatbdt theme is
because trauma is my expertise and ba-
sis of my thesis?

The talk is part of the Patient Safety
Learning series from the student-nurs¬
ing group Patient Safety Grampians.
The PSC tend to act as Tote mod&s”
of patient safety, accorefing to member
and fourth year nursing student Padma
Rad. They host numerous seminars
pertaining to a variety of professions
and topics related to medicine, all while
trying to engage any issues or inquiries
brought forth by students,

“We are the liaisons? Raei $akL “Stu¬
dents at a particular level who come
across some dinkal issues related to
patient safety they can come and tdl us
and we try to work with them and make
the system safer?

For the PSQ the essential point from
this talk is to underline how patient
safety is a mandatory action and how
nurses are the first line of defense when
it comes to contending with it

“Because youVe so present with the pa¬
tient all file time and you re taking care
of them, they express to you ihat the/d
like more inftMrnation,” said PSC mem¬
ber Hannah Sweilem

The Oscars in Review

KAR-LEIGHKELSO

The Lance Contributor

Oscars season has come and gone once
more, leaving in its wake equal parts
controversy and celebration

Despite the #OscarsSo White boycott
calling out the Academy for its dear
lack of diversity in nominated artists,
the 88th Academy Awards carried
on as always, Chris Rock hosted the
evening—whether accidentally or in¬
tentionally remains a mystery for now,
and made sure the issue stayed in the
forefront of die audiences mind with
his monologue, (Although his tasteless
jabs directed at Asian-Americans M flat
with basically everyone.)

Im making it my goal to see every film

thatfs ever been nominated for an Os¬
car, Kind of a bucket list thing, nibe
starting with this yearfc and working
backward Luckily, Fve got afewalready
checked off my list

That being said, ithand to form any
opinions on who “deserved* an Oscar
this year without seeing all the work
from die nominees I got a little caught
up in the hype (as I often do) and man,
was my Facebook feed a mess the night
of the Oscars, People were so, so ob¬
sessed with the possibility of Leo getting
theOscar, I fed like hes liad work thats
deserved the award in the past, but as
far as “The RevenanT goes, HI have to
watch it and form my own opinions I
mean, the trailer looked really good
when I saw it, and it did win the Oscars
for Cinematography and Directing,
so praise is obviously deserved either

way Fve heard mixed opinions on
whether or not Leo deserved his win for
Best Actor, but baskaliy everyone seems
to agree Tbm Hardy diouldve won an
Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. To
be honest, I was hoping Nto Damon
would win Best Actor because 'The
Martian” was really incredible; Im not
normally a Damon fanatic blit he with¬
out a doubt killed it in his rote.

On to the movies I have seen from this
years nominations.

As I mentioned. The Martian.” Wow. I
give partial credit to the feet that it was
adapted from Andy Weirs novel of the
sametiile. Hemustbearealgpodwrit-
er at the very least because the story was
incredible. The casting was amazing
too; not a single actor felt out of place or
unbelievable I really wish it had won al

feast one award

Tnskfe Out? Pixarfc 2016 dnematic hit
and winner of the Oscar for animated
feature film Absolutely deserved The
concept in itsdf is really interestir^ to
wateh unfold in a femily film ^ touches
m mental iDiteSs/unrest vdien the
character begins to descend into what
appears to be depression. Its a really
beautiful real look at the struggle

Artistically, Pixarisstillat thetopofthdr
game, Really happy with thdr win,
though in my mind nothing else stood
a chance

“Mad Max: Fury Road” I cannot praise
this movie enough 1 really cant Itwas
a total ride from start to finish and in ray
opinion, deserved every single Oscar it
won. I really wish the Academy could

give out more than one Oscar for each
category because “Mad Max 1 deserved
basically all of them Ihaveritmetasin-
gfe person who disliked the movie, with
good reason; the acting is incredible* the
atmosphere is phenomenal, and artisti¬
cally it is an absolute masteipteee Tore-
cap it won Oscars for Costume Design
Fdm Editing, Makeup and Haiistyling*
Production Design, Sound Editing and
Sound Mixing, If you haverft seen it, I
insist

I look forward to watchii^ the rest that
is for certain. As for the future, YU be
baking for and hoping for more diver¬
sity in upa>ming roles and more nom¬
inees from all backgrounds, because in
my opinion theres no reason why in
2016 #OscarsSoWhite should’ve even
beeoathing. Congratulations to all the
nominees and winners!

Interpreting

Dance

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

The coocat at the Capita Theatre on
the evening of Mar. 5 was headlined
as collaboration between die Wind¬
sor Symphony Orchestra and HNM
Dance, a contemporary dance compa¬
ny based in die dty While the collabora¬
tion did indeed happen as promised, it
really didn't factor in until the veiy end,
essentially encompassing only a traction
of the evening^ two-hour program
The bulk of the concert belonged to
die works of two composers: Johannes
Brahms and Jean Sibelius, Those ex¬
pecting a greater emphasis on dance
could have waited out tuidenfldidined;
yet there was an unexpected charm in
the event being classically classical

Some of the Symphony's previous
shows have placed a larger emphasis on
musical and stage variety. This concert
instead tones it down and largely detiv-
ere a purdy r musical concert performed
with the utmost predsfon and care. The
night began with Brahms' “Serenade
no, 2 in A major” a piece consisting of
five movements mainly possessing a
light-hearted spirit Both string and
wind performers were the only mu-
adam on stage during this portion,
weaving dirough the serene, joyous
melodies arranged by the composer

With fewer musicians on stage than
usual, it fed to an oddly refreshing ex¬
perience as it provided the indination
to pay extra attention to the notes heard
The Brahms arrangement was a fun
one, with the exception of “Adagio non
troppoT which balanced light and dark
tones with contrasting tempos. Between
die constant rising and defusing actions,
it carried a contemplative atmosphere
all while keeping to the fabric of the

movements pnxeedingarHlsucreeding
it

Mowing the intermission, the stage
was rearranged for the Impending
ence of die HNM Dance group. Before
they took the stage however; there was
still Sfodhis “Pdkas et Mrfisande” to
deal with, an eight part arrangement
telling a tragic love story This section
featured the induston of brass and
drum instmments, and in between the
segments performed, conductor Robert
Franz filled the audience in as to what
was going on (hiring each piece and
how the musical tones reflected the sto¬

ry. Ks a wdl-appredafed bit of insight as
“Pefieas et Mdisande” is feiriy plentiful
in variety by relieving and applying die
audience with muskal pressures which
underscore die narrative, keeping this
going until the final piece: “The Death
ofMdisande” Despite Franz* playful de¬
scription of the finale, ife certainly tragic
and harrowing by design.

Finally, there was the headlining act
Twelve performers from HNM Dance
book the stage to perform to Bohuskv
Martinus “Toccatae due Canzone'
whkhendedupnot<Milybdngthetoiv
gest piece of the program, but the most

unusual It didrifc move at any struc¬
ture or convention, which reflected the
dancing on stage. Truly dressed in noth¬
ing but tattered rags, HNM had all eyes
on them as they interpreted the auditory
dements, which lay before them.

The experience was fascinating, but also
a bit frantic As they frequently bounced
around on stage, wM in mannerisms,
they sometimes acted as a coflective
while other times they were fragmented
in their performances With interpretive
dance, thefts always extensive room for
ambiguity Yet with no details pertaining
to the piece or the style of dance being

conducted, it was occasionally difficult
to raimprehend just what was being
conveyed, almost as if it were an act of
deciphering.

Regardless, the dancers did exhibit
remarkable control taking over the
stage in a near effortless way Instead of
sprinkling the performances in between
other parts of the program, the show
saved it for last wfth a near 20-minute
performance, ensuring the dance is the
last thing people remember upon leav¬
ing the Capitol Theatre. For better or
worse, you end up getting exactly what
you expect

Crystal Bowl Meditation
Provides a Path to Acceptance

Thiswas the basis ofthe Crystal Singing
Sowi Meditation, which she hdd at har
arts centre on the evening of Mar. 2. The
lights inside the filed with the likes

of healing aysfcak, tarot cards, healing
hooks ami jewdry were dimly lit as a
small, yet focused group of people par*
tidpated in a meditation of acceptance,
Rogers said holding this session was a
simple matter of intuition, which is also
influenced by the lessons of spiritual
teacher and heater S latl Kxihn

Rogers served as the meditation prac¬
titioner, emitting the noise from each
of die seven crystal bowls which laid in
foot of her while everyone eke dosed
their eyes and drifted Each bowl is said

to reflect the seven chakras, which are
in relation to specific body parts. The
st^e was more or less set for what was
a moment to find an inner calm* which
paired will an intense auditory experi¬

With eyes firmly dosed and te^ and

Every day in a persons life, theres a
struggle to endure or an obstade to

The Lance Contributor

The Lancer womens basketball team
earned the progtian&ei^Tfo consecutive
trip to the QUA Final Four and a chance
to carve their name on the newly-mint¬
ed Critdli Cup with a pair ofplayoff vic¬
tories over the Laurier Goidm Hawks
and Carieton Ravens this past week

Head coach Chanial Vailee and the
Lancets began their playoff run with
an 82-76 win over the Laurier Golden
Hawks, defeating them for the third
time this season and silencing the OUA
West rivalry until nest season That
victory earned the sixth-seed Lancers a
rematch on the road against the third-
seed Carieton Ravens, who scored an
top-sided win over Windsor early in
die year. This time foe Lancers used a
dominant second half perfomianoc to
come out on top of foe rough and tough
Ravens 60-48 in Ottawa Mar 5*

VaBee said she told her players when
ttey first started out this season the
teams realistic goal was to simply be
a top-6 team. But now that they have
earned foefr way into the OUA Final

Lancer co-captain Roger, who had the

**We knew we oould do it as toi^ as we

definitely had strong performances
both offensively and defensivdy Yet
our rookies Tyra [Blizzard] and Alyssa
[Cerino] also came in and gave us some
great minutes, so it was a great team ef¬
fort”

From foe opening tip-off Carietoris
top-ranked defense was tested and ul¬
timately would not be enough to deny
the Lancers on this day. Windsor raced
outto a 8-4 lead earfy in foe tint quar¬
ter before foe Ravens fought back with
a 6-0 run to stop foe bleeding. At the
end of a low-scoring first haK foe home
team held a 26-24 lead. But in foe third
quarter itwas foelancers who came out
gunning offensively with Emily Prevost
leading foe way inside foe paint and
Carfy Steer dro^^5-pc^bdnbs be¬

yond foe arch. Roger held court defen-
fody for the Lancers and finished foe
contest with five blocked shots.

Prevost also a team co-captain, finished
a strong two-way game performance
with 17 points and nine rebounds to
help secure the vital win Steer finished
the g^me with 19 poiitts ate knocking
down five triples.

“We knew it wasn't going to be an easy
game, but we persevered through the
bumps and finished strong,” Prevost
said 'Were very excited to have another
week of basketball preparation for foe
Final Four”

Ravens forward Heather Lindsey was
ultimately on foe bench with four fouls
midway through the fourth quarter and
the Lancer^ exploited her absence on
foe offensive gbsa. Prevost and Roger

Windsors defensive pressure and al¬
though they converted on 14-15 free

In other OUA quarterfinal gam®, the
top-ranked Ottawa Gee Gees handily
beat Guelph 55-43, while MacMaster
defeated Queens 65-55 and foe sec¬
ond-ranked Ryerson Rams completed
foe semi-final brackets by knocking off

Campbell Leads Men’s Basketball
Team Back To Wilson Cup Final Four

KIMELUOT

The Lance Contributor

The overlooked and underrated Lanc¬
er mem ba&etbdl team were kd by
fpaduating senior Alex Campbell and
overcame the odds to win two straight
p^Hrffbaskrtbali games and daw their
way bade into the OUA Wilson Cup Fi¬
nal Four,

A wild week for interim head coach
Ryan Steer and the Lancers began
with a 82 - 73 win over the laurentian
Voyageurs in the preliminary round of
the OUA playoffs at the Dennis RuraD
Fiddhouse Mar, 1 Three days later*
Windsor knocked off the Off fifth-
ranked McMaster Marauders, 79-78,
in Hamilton for file teams l Lth straight
victory. Windsor now advances to the
final four* hosted by file Ryerson Rams
at the Mattamy Athletic Centra in
downtown Toronto Mar, 11 and 12,

For Campbell who scored 37 points
against Laurentian and followed up
with 33 over McMaster, getting bade to
file find four was a statement to the rest
of the OUA

“Ultimately; it was about revenger
Campbell admitted “They counted us
out once again with the toss of a couple
players and our head coach. But we con¬
tinue to throy|ji^^^ f .ati^|
out important games, 16 a good feding’

In their opening game* Windsor got
a career-high 37-point, 10 rebound
double-double outburst from Camp¬
bell but struggled against Laurentian
ball screens, whkh forced second half
defensive adjustments for the Lancers,
who trailed 36-37 at the half The Voya¬
geurs, who were file 12 fii seed in the
provindak, racked up 16 points in the
paint with seven second chance points
and four points off of turnovers in the
first 20 minutes of pky atone

“For the team it was a matter of more
team building, because for a tot of our
younger players fifis was their first play¬
off win so 1 was excited for themf said
Campbdl “Our offense fell flat in the
2 nd half so as a fifth year senior the
weight fell on my shoulders to hdp us
getthewtnT

Campbell scored 21 of the Lancers 36
points in die first half and went on to
score 16 more in the second but fortu¬
nately for Windsor, point guard Mike
Roccas alkymop dunk pass to Isiah
Osborne to open the second half woke

up the home town crowd and began
to swing the momentum in fevor of
the Lancers, After 14 lead changes,
Rocca drained a three-pointer in the
fourth quarter to stop a Laurentian run,
giving them a nine point kad and the
cushion needed to cruise to victory,

Rocca finished with seven points and
five rebounds while an additional 18
points came from Osborne with 12
points fiom Tyler Persaud and eight
from Marko Kovac The most import¬
ant statistic for file Lamm was their 19
- 21 performance from the free throw
line, which was instrumental in secur¬
ing the win, David Aromolaran scored
25 points to lead three other Voyageurs
who scored in double figures.

After his first career OUA playoffvicto¬
ry, Steer foreshadowed Windsor would
need a gutsy effort to pull out a victory
over Mdvtaster and thafe exactly what
he got three days later. From the open¬
ing tip, the Lancers rebounded well
and ran with McMaster in transition,
radr^; out to a 23-15 first quarter lead
McMaster was abk to torn the tables
on Windsor mid-way through' the sec¬
ond quarter and eventually pulled them
into a 40-40 tie at halftime.

The second half saw the two teams bat¬
tle back and forth, trading baskets and
defensive stops on each possession. Al¬
though McMaster made their push, the

ranked Marauders from tMng the lead.

Windsor held a seven-point lead with
two minutes remaining* and although
they committed some ill-timed turn¬

and it feds amazingT

When the game dust settled the Lancers
walked away with not only a redemptive
upset but extended their season by at
least two games and a shot at an OUA
medal First and foremost. Steer said his
squad needs to get rested after playing
four games in less than one week. From
that point on - ifs all business.

“WewiDespedaDyfoaBonwmnii^the

trot our fete in getting to the CIS Final 8
tournament,” Steer said“We know both
mateh-ups are against good basketball
teams and we need to be ready for an-
other spirited effort from start to finish."

The lancers will bank the host Rams in
their OUA semi-final game Man 11 at
8 pm, while the earlier contest features

the Ottawa Gee<kes and Carieton Ra¬
vens, The OUA bronse and gold medal
games will be played the following eve¬
ning at 6 and 8 pm White the Lancets
have already beaten the Rams early in
the 2015-16 season, both teams are very
different and are much improved

As for what now Bes ahead, Camp¬
bell, the Lancers “silent assassin" said
nowthat his first major goalofthesea-
soo has been adiieved, the opportunity
to return to the MAC to face Ryenon,
Ottawa and Carfeton is something he
does not take for granted *

"This definitely means a lot, especially
under all the druimstanoesweVehadto
face? Campbdl said tr We were here last
year, and to know that we have the op¬
portunity to redeem ouisdves is a bless¬
ing. I am very exdted with the opportu¬

nity to kngfiien our streak even more 1 ’

16 notable that although the Carieton
Ravens have won 11 of the last 13 na¬
tional M*^3ee CIS Champfomhips, the
notorious Ravens head coach, Dave
Smart has taken sabbatical and the
last of his five year proteges in Phil and
Thomas Scrubb are not longer in the
Carieton fold neither. If ever there was a
seasonal moment that the University of
Windsor was poised to wm ifs first na¬
tional championship in decades - this
may be that moment in time.

It can only hdp that the ament coach
at tte helm of the Lancer brigade was
the starting guard for their last pro¬
vincial dianiptonship in 2008 and like
Campbell has more than just a missed
opportunity at the provincial level on his

Guest Lecture Provides Insight on Dog Fighting

HAIMIYASSfNE

Arts Editor

ft is a culture,whkh can be baked upon
as oueL distorted and even depraved

Part of the Animals for Sport and En ¬
tertainment course; guest lecturer Dr
Stephen Zawistowski spoke to students
about the history and disturbing ca¬
maraderie associated with dog fighting
inside room 204 of file Toldo building
on the morning of Mar, 3. The course
has been around for the past few years

with Professor Beth Daly acting as in¬
structor, Given the extensive credentials
Zawist 0 wsld has in this particular field,
Daly found him tobe an ideal fit to raise
awareness on the subject

1 met him when he was a keynote
speaker at one of my anthro- 2 odogy
conierences, and I had several meetings
wifii him m New York when he was still
with file ASPCA, and as my luck wuld
have it, he retired to Michigan," Daly
said “I try to have a guest speaker every
year, so its really terrific''

Zawistowski served time as a science

advisor hr the ASPCA and is also an
adjunct professor at New Yorks Hunter
College He began his lecture ai a broad
scope and slowiy worked towards more
specific details. Animal fighting, he not¬
ed, has been around for centuries with a
variety ofanimals all over the woridlna
natkmsiHfoasfiieDomink^
for example, cock fighting is not only
legal but is considered a sport He also
said humans tend to alternate the men¬
tality of animate in order to make them
more aggressive,

“What we start to see is people becom¬

ing more and more involved with the
entertainment and desire for animal
fighting if we start attenuating some of
their natural behaviors,” Zawsstowski
said

With dogs bang domesticated ani¬
mate, there lends a stronger reflection
between the animal and its owner Za-
wistowski highlighted how dog fighting
was legal for years* with policemen and
firefighters acting as top practitioners.
He examines the logistics of the fighting
itself and how a dog will tend to keep

According to Zawtstowskf calling a dog
“dead game” is the single greatest com¬
pliment one can receive in the world
of dog fighting, as its a label for those
vriRsng to fight to the death. Couple with
the do^ usually being raised undo-re¬
markably poor conditic^
to the depravity within those who par¬
take in the activity,

"You've got to think about the sort of
culture and mentality that they're look¬
ing for in terms ofa dog thatwill do that,
and the presumption that this dog is do¬
ing it for you,” Zawistowdti said

Men and Women’s Hockey
Ready To Reboot In 2016-17

Sports Editor

A disappointing season for both the
men and womens Windsor Lancer
hockey programs did not end in varsi¬
ty triumph and glory but according to
their coaches the future is very bright
with youth, skill said untapped potentiaL

Although the womens team did not
qualify for the post season, their year
definitely ended on a positive note with
three Lancers sweeping the OUA scor¬
ing race podium. Windsor's high-octane
top line of Krystin Lawrence, Shawna
Lesperance and Erinn Noseworthy fin¬
ished in foe top three positions in overall
scoring. Lawrence led the way with 31
points while Lesperance finished with
30 and Nosewrthy registering 29. Les¬
perance also led the league in goals with
19, while Lawienceplaced first overall in
assists with 18 and Noseworthy was sec¬
ond in assists with 16. Natalie Barrette
was the leagues second-highest scoring
defenseman, registering 17 points while
sdidifying the blue line for Windsor

Looking bade on file regular season,
Lawrence admitted it was hard to be¬
lieve what she and her Sine-mates were
able to accomplish in the second half of
the season after head coach Jim Hunt¬
er needed offensive production alter
Windsor went winless until their sev¬
enth game of the year

"We’re a dangerous threat us three to¬
gether and hopefully with us ail coining
back next year [along] with this accom¬
plishment and having new recruits
come in, it wiB even make us that mudi
bettetf Lawrence said. "I can’t wait for
what thethreeof us do next”

Lancer mere head coach Kevin Hamlin
had as many as nine first-year players
in file roster as Windsor pushed the
Gudph Gryphons to the brink in game
three of their opening-round playoff
series. Windsor knocked off the York
Lure in overtime to finish their regular
season with a 14-13-1 record and earn
the fifth-seed in the OUA West division
No Windsor players were found to the
top-five of any regular season statistical
category but the offensive leaders were
Dyla i Penomme and Justice Pundas,
who both collected 29 pewits and regis¬
tered double-digit goals in file Hue and
gHd.

Krystin Lawrence of the Windsor Lancers won the OVA women’s hockey regular season scoring title for 2015-16, finishing with 31 points on 13
goals and a league-leading 18 assists. The Lancers finished the regular season outside of the OVA playoffs but have the potential to

return their entire roster.

Fust-year gpahendere Hake Richard
and Mike Doan both performed ad¬
mirably for the Lancers this season The
two net-minders split time during the
regular season and had similar num¬
bers in sorts, wins, total goals against,
goals-agamst-average and save percent¬
age.

Hamlin said hopefully the earty-exit in
the playoff, will inspire the Lancers to be
better next year and likes the promise of
some ofhis first and second year players
who were contributing members of the
team but didn’t get much of an opportu¬
nity due to numbers.

Tm hoping they come in with a re¬
newed energy and knowing what it
takes at this level,” said Hamlin. "What
we’ve known about this league all along
is that its a veteran league but having

veterans come back is not as important chrjstou skaies t f, e up ice against the Laurier Golden Hawks during OUA men’s hockey regular

ing the league in total points with 2855

centage through 19 matches and also to¬

mental psychology major; also named

now been named an OUA ail-star for
the third time in her career.

Moving forward. Dean believes Wind¬
sor wifi be weD equi^ed for next sea¬
son, as more girts on the team have
experienced what its like to be a starter.

T put a lot of work into this season
and set a lot of small goals for mysdf, I
really wanted it to be die best season of
my career” Dean said T fed as though
l accomplished that and the first team
all-star is just the cherry on top for me. I
couldntask ior a better end to my career
here as a Lancer and to have two of my
teammates and coach recognized with
me 1 think is huge for this program and
the progress weVe made together this
year. They know what it will taker

the Lancers, as she totaled 565 assists

iitan average ofSJi per seL Above all
other intangibles Stirlings leadership

and skills were a crucial component to
the Lancers regular season success and
playoff run.

An Ottawa native, Ztebarih had a stand¬
out rookie season with the Lancers,
playing in all 19 games and becoming
a go-to offensive player as the regular
season progressed In total, Ziebarth
notched 131 kills and 450 attacks for a

ond-team all-star team after returning

finished Ifts career with a successful sea¬
son.

Edwards finished second in the con¬
ference in hfttir^ pereaitagp while also
earning a third place finish for solo
blocks with 27. Tlirougjtout the season,
Edwards experience and maturity were
key 7 for the young Lancer squads devel¬
opment and success this year.

As humble as he is athletic and power¬
ful, Edwards graciously appreciated the

recognition but said he fobs the true
reward is playing the game of volley¬
ball itself and believes Windsors pair of
all-rookie team selections will be a key
factor in the immediate success of the
team.

TVeB deserved selections;" said Ed¬
wards of Gyemi and Moate 'With ded¬
ication to increasing strength and skills
in the offseason, there is nothing stop¬
ping lhar potential on the court With
experiencing diaBenges of position and
line up tweaking tlirough the season
and developing humility through a lot
of tough fosses, I fed the cohesion will
be very high next season with tills a syn¬
ergy in support and rratuniy will lead to
a lot of success”

lancer rookies Brad Gyemi and John
Moate round out file accolades as they
were named to the OUA all-rook¬
ie team. Gyemi and Moate each had
strong freshman seasons for Windsor,
as Gyemi led the team in total kills with
176and had 85 digs fiuough°ut the sea-
sore Moate fin^hed the season with 110
total kills, 24 digs and was second over-
all on the team with a kill percentage of
.309.

A More Centralized Way for OSAP

CALEBWQRKMAN

News Editor

Recently; Canada^ government an¬
nounced the elimination of tuition fees
to families who make under $100,000
a yea l

Something that has also happened
alongside this is the changing of OSAP
and how its becoming more centralized

and easy. One of the biggest changes
with OSAP will be the elimination of
tuition and education tax credits, whidi
will begin Sept 1,2017.

Marian Doll, student award and fi¬
nancial aid, said OSAP is looking to
combine about three different funding
grants into one Ontario Student Grant

"In terms of the amount of assistance
students are going to receive, I dorft
think its goii^ to be much different than

what they are already 7 recavii^ under
the current program," said DoE “There
will be some students who benefit more
from tiliis structure and it will be less dis¬
advantageous overall.”

Doll said litis is separate from the Lib¬
eral governments new schooling idea
of free tuition for certain families but
she sad there are some things with that
which people should keep mindful of.

“The changes could possibly bring

file net tuition zero but ifs not free in
the seme of the word,* said DHL 'The
granting will cover tuition and the
school is still gettii^ paid per head, fam¬
ilies making under $100,000 might see
the free 1 aspect ofit though.”

HESA blogger, Alex Usher, tuition is
only free in terms of net’ tefttfoa

“Fees are the same as they always were,
and offsets are reasonably similar, tooT
said Usher Tn most cases, students ar-

ent getting a whole lot of new moneyf

Usher said in his blog, students in fam¬
ilies over the $110,000 range are slightly
worse oft* due to the disappearance of
tax credits,

rt A lot of these concepts have been run¬
ning around for years, 1 * sad DdL U A
lot of the changes OSAP has made are
made from student consultation and
careful studying of the current works."

The panda with panache for martial
aits returns once again in "Kung Fu
Panda 3** Directed by Jenifer Yiih Nel¬
son and Alessandro Carioni this third
iteration oflfo (Jack Black) still manages
to stay strong by depicting a meaning¬
ful narration meam for aU ages. This
time around Kai (JJC Simmons), a yak
has transcended into the mortal realm
by stealing Master Oogways (Randall

Puk Kim) chi and has fonnulated a ne¬
farious plan to create his supernatural
army by defeating all the other kung fu
masters and finally confronting Bo> the
dragon warrior.

'Hus is a personal journey for lb as he
meets his biological father and finds out

man) and his friends* Tigress {Angelina
Jdtek Mantis (Seth Rogen), Viper (Lucy
Liu), Crane (David Cross) and Monkey

peace to the land.

With each sequel "Kong Fu Panda"
has managed to retain its charm and
only gets better every time. The ani¬
mations are stick and the visuals beau¬
tifully compliment the characters and
the worid they reside ire ffo might be
the least intimidating dragon warrior
who stumbles in Ks demeanor every

It was the early evening of St Patricks
Day when the seats of Mare Nostrum
were being Med by numerous candi¬
dates*

Rock die Vote Mar. 17 was the decisive
day’ for who was going to embody the
UWSA for the coming year Following
weeks of eanipaigrerig, nerves were ap¬
propriately heightened as they tensdy
waited forthe results to be read off posi-

Ahmed Khalifa was among the can¬
didates running for a senator position.
Upon waiting for the results, he said
he never felt better, but acknowledged
there was some sacrifice at play as file
campaigning served as a time manage¬
ment lesson

“You’re adding so much to your sched¬
ule,” Khalifa said ‘TVe barely seen my
family fids week, and I didht do too well
on some of my assignments.”

The sacrifice seemed to pay' off as Khal¬
ifa was one of three senators elected
along with Amber Shaheen and Chase
Tribble The Board of Directors posi¬
tions were the first to be named off as
eight different representatives were to be
elected or re-elected

Representing the Faculty of Law, Justin
Binkley was up for re-election, but lost
his seat to Ha^r Elsayed with over dou¬
ble the amount of votes. As the dust set¬

tled Binkley was humble in defeat

“I saw it coming,” Binkley said T just
knew it It wasn't a surprise’ 1

Naturally, the announcements for the
executive branch were saved for last
with the vote allocations proving deci¬
sive victories for each of the four pos¬
tals up for grabs, Vuk Zubic won Vice
President of Finance with a more than
300-vote lead over opponent Richard
Osagie. The rakofVP Stedent Services
went to Danid Papa) as he was el ected
with 1,148 vote, and Matthew Dunlop
was successful in his re-dection cam-

But the man of the hour was none other
than Moussa Hamadani, who edged out
Rf 44 SouLTrairi 1 Sivanesan in becoming
the new president of the UWSA Cur¬
rently a Board of Directors member for
FAHSS, Hamadani was overcome with
emotion as he was named president for
the next academic year

‘Words cannot describe ftT Hamadani
said "It was the most fulfilling moment
in my life, and IVe been living for almost
21 years!*

A third year international relations and
development studies student Hama¬
dani initially didn't have any plans for
a presidential run, but found liimsdf
sucked into the organization which he
will soon become the face o£ He senses
a great path with the team hell be work¬
ing with and while a long road is ahead
It© ready and hopes to form a stronger

bond between the university and the
students connected with it

“We need to have a common base, we
need to have the school spirit I know
its something common that everyone
runs on, but I think during my experi¬
ence as a board, I was able to pick up on
what causes that void and lack of school
spirit," Hamadani said *1 believe in the
student movement, I believe in the stu¬
dent body I believe in our voice and the
stronghold we have as a unified student
body 1

On top of the election results, the long
enduring UTfass referendum also

passed with 1,706 vote in favor. This
announcement has been years in the
making for some as the initial proposal
for the referendum dates back to rough¬
ly 20 years ago according to Pat Dei-
more, die executive director for Transit
Windsor The passing of the referen ¬
dum will allow students to subscribe to
a Transit Windsor bus pass for a rate of
roughly $65 per semester The passing
of UPass was paved to an overwhelm¬
ing reception

“Its good news for the university stu¬
dents, j& good news for the dty of
Windsor, and & great news for Transit

Windsor!’ Ddmore said

This years election saw a substantial
increase In voter turnout at 36 per omt,
which UWSA CRO April Adams was
very satisfied with Adams wasn't con-
oemed with one of the voting days land¬
ing on St Patricks Day as die believed
allowing campaigning being done on
verting days to serve as an eventual ben-
efit

“Each year it gets higher and higher'
Adams said "I think we reached 20 per
cent one time and its always been in the
20s, so getting 36 per cent turnout is fan¬
tastic"

Making Our Mark in the Community

CALEBWORKMAN

Charity in Windsor is at an all*time
higjh with so many initiatives wanting to
do so many good things and its one of
die most amazing thin^ a community
can da

As a oo-founder of a non-for-profit or¬
ganization, you see and hear so many
stories and you really learn about the
need of community Although
Windsor has so many charities, there
Lv stiO a great need for than and its ever
gmwing.

The organization my partner, Hailey
Treafout and l run is (me based off
the core values of axeptir^ on© self
accepting others ami mental health
awareness. Since True Reflection - A
Celebration of Differences' beginning,
we've seen the need for just these core
items alone - and its huge.

The biggest purpose True Rdkrbons
serves is to be a centre where people
can come and talk and be accepted as

zone. Whether it be online or at one of
our local events here in Windsor* we
make sure to make H dear that it' some¬
one opens up they are accepted To do

this*, we hold events such as open mk
nights where anyone can come out and
perform

These events give people the chance to
perform in an environment where they
can fed free and weto had many first
time performers come out to do this
and not only that but they come b^k

Mental health is something so hush-
hush by people who struggle ^vith it and
even more so Ijy people who don't Its
a topic that escapes a lot of radars and
even if we think were raising enough
awareness with a fol of individuals in
pop-odtore and articles written that are
spread like wildfire.

Our latest event hdd March 18* was
smaller and more intimate, but it was
also one of the most powerful ones we
had

One of our regular performers came out
and told the crowd a story about how a
song had helped her cope through life
and then played the sor^ We also had
first torn performers come out and
share about themsdves and thdr strug¬
gles in life

Ife not just us making a difference out
there though There are amazing orga¬
nizations out of the university itself such
as Jadtorg, which are student based
and fight for mental heahh awareness.

There are countless of other dubs in foe
university and dty looking to make a
difference any way they can and this is
amazing.

Never in history have there been so
many people fighting for other people
and it's making such a positive effect in
the wrid Whether you're saving ani¬

bringing her back to his doomsday

to get in contact with her loved ones to

Faculty of Science Welcomes
Canadian Newcomers

HANIYASSfNE

Arts Editor

ft was shortly before 9 ajTL when a
school bos parked itself outside Vankr
Halt carryii^ youths from diversified
backgrounds.

The Faculty of Science welcomed 40
youth members of Windsors immi¬
grant and refugee community to engage
inacaimexpk)ra!ionday2vIaii 16. The
day began inside Kaizman Lounge
when the kids registered to participate
In die day. From there on, they toured
around the campus and partook in a
variety of scientific courses including
chemistry; earth and environmental
cancer biology and computer science.

“The key is to help with their career
chokes,” said Dr Zian Kobtf who di¬
rects the computer science program
and also acted as a tour guide for the
dayTheygotogedierasagroupino^
section, so in the process they get to see

die onrversty with a tour; and also get

hands-on experience

While the Faculty of Sdence has idled
out the welcome before, this is the first
time they’ve collaborated with the local
YMCA in making die project happen,
Kobti said the collaboration stemmed
from the two parties connecting during
a previous unbersity-hosted event

Fifteen -year old Mareo Dayh was one of
the youth present Bom in Iraq, he has
lived in Canada for the past couple of
years, and has been engaged with YM~
C& English teaming program.

T want to know how die university
worksT Dayh said about the field trip.
“I usually go to the youth centre for the
YMCA, and they told us about the trip”

Recruiting die youth for the event

was the YMCAs key role according to

Hugo Vega, the organizations general
manager of settlement and community
services. When it comes to newcomers
with permanent residency the YMCA
aims to get the people strutted when ft
comes to settlement and mainstream
concerns, such as health cam Four vol¬
unteer members of the Y accompanied
the trip as liaisons while others sewed as
translators.

Vega ultimately hopes the kids walk
away with a priority on university ed¬
ucation, as well as keeping in mind the
welcome mat is there to stay,

"The university was the one that initiat¬
ed this,” Vega said "They're opening the
doors and saying we vrant to engage, we
want you to be part of this institution.
This I think Is the biggest thing?

Under the Sea

HANIYASS1NE

Arts Editor

Through drawings, photographs and a
series of mixed medk* the SoCA Gal¬
lery was temporarily transformed into
an oceanic environment

Julia Leperas "Depths" became foe latest
exhibit to occupy foe Lebd building's
SoCA Projects Gallery from Man 14 to
18. This exhibit was the first one held
by the fourth year visual arts student
which she described as a learning ex¬
perience, but nonetheless proud of the
diverse body of work she had on display
She finds hersdf particularly alhired to
foe sea and the wildlife beneath* pre¬
senting sea creatines and landscapes in
a variety of unique forms.

The base floor of the gallery truly en¬
compassed the sea level but there was
one element of foe gallery, which made
it both a celebration and education on
the matter,

T started become more aware with ray
research about how much pollution af¬

fects the ocean, so I just got a little more
interested and 1 realized a lot of other
people areht really interested, or they
just don’t knowf Ijepera said

A key element of the gallery was cen¬
tered on foe ceiling Lingering above
all the visual displays was a Luge fishnet
tangled with several pieces of garbage.
Plastic bottles, bag* and other objects
littered the net as an expression of pol¬
lution. If the floor of the gallery was the
sea* then the cdlir^ acted as the shore

Lepera said foe exhibit took roughly six
horns to set up, and used the fishnet to
add in to the overall effect with being
under the sea. With Are net up abom
it becomes nearly impossible to ignore.
Thus foe art is used to express greater
awareness of oceanic pollution towards
whoever enters the exhibit

Tt was a good opportunity to express
how the ocean is an important part of
our world and that we need to make
sure to keep it dearC Lepera said T just
want people to make sure that they pay
attention to their carbon and pollution
footprint, and just be aware of the plas¬
tics and foe garbage youre usingT

—

The Faculty of Arts, Humanities and
Sodai Sciences provided upcoming
high school graduate a look inside the
day-to-day routines of a university at¬
tendee.

Prom Mar 14 to II, students interest¬
ed in emolifag in the FAHSS program
are digMe to partake in shadow days,
which atfow them to attend a university
factum ^>eak with professors and even
get a tour around the campus through
accorr^anying themselves with one of
the des^n^ed ambassadors.

The time spent on campus varies be¬
tween each interested student, but one
of the objectives of the project is to get
future graeratiora acquainted with the
university.

“1 just presented itsdfas another option
to come to campus, because we have
!md some great turnout from the fell
open house and the spring opcnhouseT

student recruitment officer.

Seventeen-year old Alexi St Denis b in
her final year at Vincent Massey H^h
School With pbra to major in either
political science or international nda-
tkm she shadowed an ambassador for
a few hours on Mar. 15 and found the
experience to be both enjoyable and
hdpfaL

M My shadow gave me really good ad¬
vice about studying and keeping good
grades and not getting distracted, so
taking that away was really good? St
Dous said

According to Tokon-Murtty over 2,400
invitations were sent out for the shadow

days, reaching out to students all across
Ontario who have applied to a FAHSS
program. With the stresses in choosing

a post-secondary major, she believes
the shadow days can hdp students fig¬
ure out what subject matter they have a
deep axmeotion ta which would ulti¬
mately lead to a more confident position
in choosing a major.

“ft really helps especially if they apply to
several different programs, and some¬
times just siting in on a class is reaBy
what hdps them make their dedaonT
Tolson-Murtty said

Tokon-Murtty said the shadow days
will happen next year around the same
time, expressing those who would like
to volunteer as an ambassador can have
it included in thdr a>-airricular tran¬
scripts.

Theatre Review: SpainEcho42

ROBTYMEC

Guest Writer Local Actor
and Director

There ism theatreopuq^anyytiu should
support more in this dty than Joey
Ouellettes Purple Theatre Coirtpany
over at MacKmzk Hall TTie realms are
endkss: He podoces origiraily-wrttten
scripts. He actually pays his actois-- little
known feet most actors work for free in
this town - you should actually inquire
with a theatre company' about whether
or not toey pay their actors bdbre pur¬
chasing a tkkei -- His soiptsm* always
soMy-written. And so ore..

But one of the best reasons for support-
ing him is the fact that Joey Oudktte is
not afraid to take risks. No one in this
town has broken more pound than
him

Nothing exampUfies this better than
his bies x pfay, fl SpamEch042r Science
fiction has, of course, done very writt in

movies, TV and boob - but live the¬
atre particularly, local live theatre, wont
touch it with a ten-foot barge-pole
Which means, of course, Joey couldn’t
resist trying it owl

As if that wasn't a great enough risk, hes
also using one the most unique meth¬
ods of staging. Most of the play tabs
place in almost total darkness. You can
still see whaft going on because char¬
acters on stage turn on toe occasional
flashlight or the screen from a laptop is
even used as a flghtsource, Butifsavery
dark shadowy show.

The reason for toe gloominess ^because
’toe entire play takes place on a space sta¬
tion in toe future that has had to paws'
down to conserve energy, Theni been
an inlegalactic war of some sent Earth
and its asoociated colonies appear to
have been defeated Basically wdvebeen
invaded by aliais. "^paineEcho42 w is a
remote base that* for whatever reason,
wasn’t destroyed The play follows the

lives of the surviving crew’ as they deal
with toedtaiki^es cf remaining alive in
space and trying to do somethin about
defeating tlx enemy.

One of science fiction^ greatest sins is
that it can, sometimes, alienate its audi¬
ence by r dealing too heavily with abstract
ideas. But well-written sd fi does the
otact opposite It enhances toe Human
Condition in a way that no other genre
can “SpainEdio^r falLs under the biter
calory. The starknek of the setting
forces toe personalities of the crew to
come to toe forefront Thanks to Joeys
magnifident writing we foil in love with
all these characters in our own special
way. We cheer for them when they con-
<|uer adversity and fod for them when
the obstacles are too big to Lwercorne:

But its not just the writing that impress¬
es The acting is sfcdlar
when you coasider that were watching a
group of shadowy figures interact in toe
gjoom. Amazing enough, the staging

technique gets us to fed the emotions of
each diaracter all the more succinctly
But the technique wouldn't have suc¬
ceeded if foey liadn’t assembled die
most solid team of actorc this dtyhas.

leaving complimented toe cast so high¬
ly, I will say there was one periormer
who managed to capture my heart just
a little bit better than the others. Kevin
Doak as "Fork" (a nickname toe char¬
acter garneredbecanse of his Um food)
actually reduces you to tears a bit Fork
was separated from his family when
the invaders struck and is sure they are
dead He is a broken man who wants
to die But his position on toe station Is
ton crudal to the survival of the rest of
the crew. So he rductandy keeps himself
alive: There is a tangible melancholy to
Doaks portrayal that never becomes

(mxstatod We see it best every time he

takes a stolen moment to stare at a pic¬
ture ofhts family.

Again, everyone does a spectacular job
in this play - but Fork will tug at your
heaistnngs that little hit more, Joey
coddrft have cast a better person for toe
role

IVe seen my fair share of live tiveaixe in
dm town, but 1 think “Spainlkho'ir'
might just qualsfy is the coolest show
ever. If you're not a fen of sdence fic¬
tion, the sheer i nnovation of this play
will leave you spdbcmd If you are a
legitimate geek then you sfaxild be
ashamed if you miss this.

The show doses this weekend so make
sure you contact the Purple Theatre

Inside the Pink Room

By merging allure with disgust, the
current exhibit hosted by Artdte Inc
b a fascinating display whether you rc
inside the gallery walls or just passively

*Our opening night we had a lot of folks
off the street, more so than usual be¬
cause the work is very inviting and we
try to program work thats very inviting”
said Artdte program coordinator An-
drea Slavik

At first glance, its almost macabre in na¬
ture, with pieces of internal body parts
rhngling around the gallery as if it were
the designs of a serial killer displaying a
victim The density of the precis uplift
the usual no touching rule commonly
associated with art exhibits. But on top
of the "Pink Room T gallery being
open to intjerpretatksi, among the core
dements of the exhibit ties its interac¬
tion

Viewable since its Mar 1 i opening re¬
ception, “Pink Room T is the work of

The majority of the pieces are conjoined
with a combination of febric, foam, pil¬
low filler and beads among other ingre¬
dients. Scanlon said the smaller pieces
can take an average of 30 hours to com¬
plete. With all the logistical intricacies at

hand, toe gallery itself took a fiiil day and

Another component accompanying the
exhibit is a video, which leaves Me to
mystery, A panting woman plays over
a series of dips showing stitched orifices
and female genitalia, which is admitted¬

the gallery without seeing the imagery,
the encompassing andio demonstrates a

Tts sort of like a light-hearted depiction
on that side,” Scanlon said “fts about
gender, fluidity, sexuality, and people
were sort of giggling at it”

She ultimately hopes people walk away

Window Exhibit Merges
Artistry with Science

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

Where many art pieces allow them-
sdves to be open to interpretation* this
particular exhibit amplifies the ambigu¬
ity through an unlikely partnership.

T^ht as a Feather” is an exhibit with a
round file dock display at the windows
of One Ten Park. Officially launched
Man 7* the exhibit was dubbed a sd-
art coliaboration as the visual design
of the pieces are hided with a scientific
thought and structure,

For this project, One Ten owners and
artists CoDette Breeders and Susan Odd
collaborated with Kewy Janisse, wlio re¬
ceived her UWindsor uixfergraduate in
visual arts and biological sciences just a
few years ago. With an intent focus on
light and color it leads to a gallery with
meticulous detail

‘Things are installed in a place for that
place, so ife not like a regular, conven ¬
tional exIiibC Gold said

iridescent plumage in bird species. In
other words, examining luminous col-
ors upon the patterns and arrangements
of bird feathers and how the odors can
change depending on where youre po¬
sitioned

A bik of the visual portion is formed
with baibules carrying mdanosomes.
With the accompanied golden colors,
the pieces can be visually linked to the
likes of a beehive or honeycomb This
component is then tied with specifically
placed scanning election microscopes
in the embodiment of petri dishes.
These dishes help sync light and color
reflections to something, which is as vi¬
brant as it is mysterious,

‘The cod thing about fins is that peo¬
ple take different things from iC Janisse
said ‘When lights hit these pigments, it
will reflect off of them, and then when
ifs unorganized, you get a Hack, brown
or reddish colorWhen you are standing
and perceiving it in the exact right way,
then you can actually see these really
bright vibrant colors."

Boffi Breeders and Gofo sakl fixe cofl^
oration and project iisdfwent smoothly
with the help of frequent conversations
and matching work ethic. Where the
amount erf'scientific information could
prove to be intimidati ng for some, Bn>
eders found it to be informing above all
else.

“This is the first time weve collaborat¬
ed with an artist with a scientific bade-
ground^ Breeders said Tsven though
our backgrounds are artistically divene,
we were able to create somethin very
cohesive.”

Women’s Basketball Team Poised
To Return to CIS Final 8 in 2017

BUETTHEDGES

Sports Editor

The Lancers womens basketball team
traded in the Bronze Baby trophy for
the OUA bronze medal in 2016 and
were unfortunately left outside of the
OS Final 8 but head coach Chantal Val¬
les and CIS all-rookie selection Kaytee
Anagnostopoukcs are both confident
Windsor will be back in the national
tournament next season.

Alter matching a record of five consec¬
utive QS championships, the Lancers
were tripped up early in thdr regular
season but rallied after the holiday break
to finish strong with a 15-5 record good
enough for top-spot in the OUA West
drvisioa Cheyanne Roger and Emily
Prevost both led the Lancers by averag¬
ing over 14 points per game each and
were subsequently selected as OUA
first-team all-stars.

A pkyoff victory on home court over
the Laurier Golden Hawkswas followed

Ravens in the quarterfinal which sent
file Lancers in contention for the inau¬
gural CriteHi Cup at Mbnfcpetit Hail m
Ottawa. In theOUA semifinal game,the
Lancers fell short to the eventual OS sti¬
ver medalist Ryerson Rams, 79-62 and
Windsor was relegated to battle forpno-
vtndaJ bronze A 68-58 victory over the
McMaster Marauders earned the Lanc¬
ers a^x>t on the OUA podium, but they
were ultimately nipped from file CIS
wildcard bath by the Alberta Pandas,

Gradous in defeat as well as victory VaL
lee said Windsors bronze m edal victory
over Mac was a mature way to end the
year

“Weve been in the OUAfinal four every
year since 2009 and thats the first time
we haven’t been to nationals since then
so ifis not a step back at aft” Vallee said
“We lost to a team that was very good in
Ryerson and we Lost to a team that was
better than us. Hid we not played Ryer-
son at that time maybe we would have
went to nationals or if we had played a
bit better Ryerson exposed our weak¬
nesses and ifs too bad we weren't able to
perform better in drat game*'

One of the many bright spots return¬
ing to the Lancers season is freshman
guard Kaylee Anagnostopoulns, who
was named to the CIS womem basket¬
ball aihrookk team* as announced by
the league at the annual awards banquet
in Fredericton Man 16. The Waterloo*
QnL native had a fantastic freshman

season and finished the year averaging
6.1 points per game on 84.4 per cent
shooting, an d 23 rebounds per game,
en route to being named to the confer¬
ence all-rookie team as wdL

Vallee said the national selection was
also a point of pride for the coaching
staff and program, as the Lancers have
had at lost one player selected as an
All-Canadian or named to the CIS
all-rookie team the past seven seasons.

'Thats the sign of a great program and
the constant recruiting that we do so
were very happyT Vallee said ‘'But thats
also a sign of Kaylees ability to step into
the role that is very difficult - therdeofa
starting poi nt guard'

Aiiagnostopoufos admitted the tran¬
sition from high school to university
was difficult, as the pace of a university
basketball game is much taster but she
quickly acclimated to foe pace of game
and was soon Vaflera starting point
guard

“For a long time this season we debated

aboui who should be our starting point

guard and we wen t through all of fiiemT
Vallee said “We have four players who
can play the point but Kaytee emerged
as the most consistent and she filled
some very tough shoes and did it weft
Were very happy that she earned this
and can put it upon her wall saying she
can an AH-Canadian and ifk very well
deserved on her part!’

Anagnostopoulos admitted that tailing
to qualify for nationals was disappoint¬
ing but now that ilk officially the offsea¬
son, the focus of the Windsor Lancers
womens basketball team will remain
solely on themselves and working to¬
wards a berth in the 2017 QS Final 8
championship tournament hosted by
UVIC - not on the accomplishments of
the Rams, who finished with aGS silver
medal finish this past weekend

"Unfortunately we can’t gp bade and
change the past - so the next step is to
look forward to next year!’ Anagnost-
opoulos said u At this point the focus is
on us. Ryeison winning or losing has
nothing to do with the work were about
to put in during ihe off-season. We took
forward to improving and giving it an¬
other shot next year. Personally I am
confident in my team and I am excited
to start next season and battle all the way
to Victoria’

All Lancer athleteswill now lock toward
the program^ athletic banquet Apr. 5 at
the St Clair Centre of file Arts in down¬

team to be able to pull off a 22-point
comeback against a Mill Rats team that
features two of four NBL Canada league

Anthony Anderson, the leagues all-time
leading scorer

“That is a very good team that has
played four gimes in less than five daysT

The third quarter saw the Express con¬

Respect is a far more powerful motiva¬
tor than tear.

Hazing or the practice of initiation
rituals aren't just dangerous, they're
counter- productive ami thals the les¬
son neariy 70 Windsor fencer athletes
took home to their respective teams af¬
ter attending the 'Transforming Team

working alongside fellow coaches and
team leaders to eliminate hazing was a
very beneficial session and die lessons
taught by UWindsor kinesiology pro¬
fessor Margery Holman and professor
Jay Johnson of the University of Marti-
tobas Faculty of Kinesiology and Recre¬
ation Management was well-received

"The goal of a varsity' sports team is
to win, and hazing lias no way of im¬
proving your chances of reaching that
goal? Masson said "Team outing and
positive experiences create strong team
bonds which is much more likdy to
lead to a wire We were taught how to
approach hazing if it occurs, how to
step in, and how to prevent it in the first
place?

Along with Masson, six other Lancer
football players - Randy Beaidy, Travis
Duiodier, Tank Bonas, Lekan Idowu,
Dave McDuffie and Joe latzko - took

part in the presentation which described
the traditions, risks and gendered nature
of hazing and helped shed some light
to the athletes on exactly what hazing
is, how to dearly define it and separate
right fom wrong*

“Having seven guys go was good but
I ted like it is proportional to the num¬
ber of guys we carry on our team and
it sets us up to prevent and avoid those
kind of situations to ensure rookies are
respected and comfortable on the team?
Masson said

Dl Holman and Johnson discussed

how there air towHs at haztricr ranging

from having rookies set up for practice
or tear down, to the more extreme dr-
cumstanoes like forced alcoholism or
public embarrassment Dr. Holman
added hazing rituals can be humiliating
and create resentments which hinder
trust and <rooperafion between team-
mates.

“Besides the emotional damage, its just
plain counter-productive, dividing rath¬
er than uniting teams? said Dr Holman
“The intention is that these team leaders
will share the information with their
teammates to create new traditions?

The basis of any successful sports team
is respect and Masson said when there
are upwards over 50 or more on a foot¬
ball team with a singular goal of victory'
of trying to get better for the program,
there isn't any room for hazing

"It is hard to force someone to do some¬
thing inappropriate or haze them if you
have a pre-existing bond or relation¬

The group also engaged in some open
discussions while mixing in alternative
activities aimed at creating a positive

team bonding experience for all. In one
activity, Lancer athletes strategized in a
team-building exercise to predict how
many people they can pile on balloons

‘The comments from the students

were wry positive, as were those of the

searched within die university mainly
amon^t uruieigraduates but it over¬
flowed into all reaches and groups of the
university. This years theme was Border
Culture and wiiat it means to be a bor¬
der aty in many senses of the term

One of the main events of the day, the
keynote panel, discussed on how to
transcend and get passed the idea of
borders and take advantage of together¬
ness raiherthan separation.

The panel consisted of six members -
Alan Wildeman, president of the Uni¬
versity of Windsor* Wiliam Anderson
horn the Goss Borders Institute of the
University of Windsor* Michael Dar-
roch from the School of Creative Arts
of the University of Windsor* Ruseell
Nahdee, Director of Turtle Island and
University ofWmdsor professor; Jaydee
Tarpeh, president of the UW5A and
Jerry Herron, Dean from Wayne State
University

^Ihe panel was a peat opportunity to
bring people together from different
perspectives to talk about bonders," said
Wildeman. Tn Windsor; borders are
very important to people!'

Wildeman said it was a good day to in¬
troduce the different meanings of bor¬
ders to people as wdL

"There are a tot of barrios we set up
with borders but therek also a lot of op¬
portunities,” said Wildeman. T think
the big thing for me was how important

the arts are when trying to understand
the borders. Bordets are one of the pil¬
lars- in our strategic research plan so we
really care about what came from the
day as a whole."

Herron, during the pand, brought the
prospective of the Michigan side of the
border and talked about the fireworks.
He said this b an important occasion
everyyear because it brin^ two nations
together to admire the fireworks and

one another's nations,

“Do Canadians fed about living on the
frontier the same way Americans dof'
asked Herron in his presentation. “The
frontier gives us the idea of this Ameri¬
can dream- The biggest border that we
have is this notion of the frontier, we just
cant live without it I dforit knowiftherefc
arch a thing as the Canadian dream that
can relate to what we have.”

Tarpeh said he wanted to focus in on the

relationship between borders and the
access and benefits from them

Tfs a good and bad thing to be here in
Windsor next to Detroit" said Tarpeh.
* Anything that happens in Detroit good
orbadjWe^dinedlylinkEd toit I find
we are the real South Detroit”

Tarpeh said ifs important for Wind¬
sor to buikt its own reputation around
the nation and the world, but having a
passive rdatfonship with Detroit is also

important

"Windsor is such an easy place to ex¬
pand from because of the neighboring
Detroit and American market’' said
Tarpeh. ‘Airy idea you have* any busi¬
ness you start has unlimited potential
because of the idea of this border?

The Windsor-Detroit border is one
which wifl continued to be discussed to
the academic world and will be expand¬
ed by on both sides.

Final Thoughts From Our President

Jay dee Tarpeh’s Final Address

UWSA President Jaydee Tarpeh sits outside the University of Windsors CAW building Apr .; 4 with Just

under a month left in his presidential position.

fcaiTtfy to the students who have made enough to sftback and <romplain behind

our accomf^merts possible this year* dosed door^ it is no longer enough to

without ymm mi yt«r support, iu« hr? la tmX Ida mat believe

that any student is "apathetic'"; however,

I would first and foremost like to thank
you for the mandible opportunity you
have |pven me this year to serve as your
president If I have not had the pleasure
of meeting you this year, my name is
Jaydee Tarpeh and I have served as pres¬
ident of UWSA 2015/2016.

Being president is not an easy task.
There are long days, tough conversa¬
tions, and harsh criticism but it is a re¬
warding one. Waking up and knowing
that you can advocate for your fellow
students, be a listener, a comforter and
many things to many people you would
never have known makes it worth ev¬
ery single minute. Over the last year,
you have all been part of the process of
shaping up the oiganizalioa picking up
hum where the previous executive team
left off and continuing to move in a pos¬
itive direction Bravo!

In my eyes, a president and as a leader
in this capacity it has been an absolute
pleasure being of service to you. Serving
in this role, I have had the opportunity
to connect with many of you and you
have provided me with many unforget¬
table moments and 1 can only hope that
I have done what 1 can to make the life
of each student and your experience on

fust over a year ago. I said that electing
me and putting your feith in me had
pul me in a position to accomplish all
that I hoped to see for the average stu¬
dent of the University of Windsor, i
think this year we have done our best
to make that possible, I also acknowl¬
edged that bringing everyone on board
was the only way to move forward and
make our University and the student
experience better. This is why we have
accomplished so much this year, espe¬
cially being the first executive tom to
work for a M year under a completely
new set of by-laws. With the support
of our UWSA staff, cooperation from
adirdnistration and our other partners,
we have honoured our commitments.
Just to highlight some implements
this year; here are a few things we have

managed to achieve:

A Universal Bus pass (Fall 2016) to en¬
sure that transportation is accessible to
every student no matter your economic
status, A UWSA Bike share Program
(Launching in May) to provide alterna¬
tive ways to travd across campuses.

The UWSA Hub, an online interactive
portal to connect the campus through
dubs and societies and to give students
access to information about all that is
happening on campus* Advocating
for and expanding work-study to in¬
dude international students for fairness.
Dropping the $5 debit minimum be¬
cause students should not be restricted
when they are making purchases on
campus.

We came into the office with three
amazing employees and we are leaving
with a full, functional, and effective of¬
fice with more than eight emptoyees.

We finalized the devefopment of the
Lancer Lounge, a fl exible lounge space
that meets the needs of every student
as well as student groups (Prelected to
open September 2016). Waking on a
brand spanking new UWSA website
that improves students access to in-
formation and their experience. This
board pefcssed new UWSA pdkies that
give guidance to how the organization
should work in the interest of students,
and these are just to name a few

In retrospect, through fcnuing partner¬
ships and strengthening relatfonships,
bringing everyone on board has been
the foundation of our success this year
From the executives, Sukhjot Matthew;
Tofunmi, Rajiv, all who have put in
countless of hours of dedicated work
and tireless effort, to the University ad¬
ministration who have been willing
and eager to work with us> to our fel¬
low student unions who Jiave always
stood by us, to the custodial staff who
make sure we can weak in a dean en¬
vironment, and to the extremely hand
working and passionate UWSA staff
who are the fuel of this organization and
the student movement Most impor-

of this would have even been remotely
possible.

Now let me turn your attention to where
we go from here. Asastudert unk>a our
purpose is to respect and be foe voice of
all students, but also to protect the un¬
heard and oppressed voices. We have
been working for more than 40 years to
accomplish our mission of representa¬
tion, advocacy and services. Let me be
honest with you, most times our dknb
is steeper in accomplishing these things
if you the students are not involved We
as students have an incredible amount
of power in our hands and we need to
take advantage of this power. We do not
need pemtisston from anyone to take
back the power Be it from the hands
of the administration or the hands
of UWSA influencerx it is do longer

students simply may not have the plat¬
form to make their voices heard St\ 1
encourage you to build that platform if
it does not exist Push the boundaries,
have an impact in your community and
have an impact on the individuals that
you meet daily. The student movement
needs your energy and your momen¬
tum to accomplish anything.

In short, we need to get involved in our
student union and be active on our
campus You need to make sure that
your voice is heard loud and dear, what¬
ever your perspective and point of views
may be. We as a student union will
continue to encourage your freedom
of speech and productive dialogue. We
also need to protect and be the voice of
thevoiceless and oppressed This is why

we have such a wide variety of services

focused towards these grewps and their

to encourage conversation and protect
freedom of speech. We have come to
a place in our university where some¬
times the lines seemed blurred 1 am
giving you acali to action to get active in
your student union, get active on your
campus, your thoughts, and make

our campus vibrant You need your stu¬
dent union, but roost importantly; your
student unton needs you!

Sincerely
Jaydee Tarpeh

My stay at the Lance has been some¬
what of a busy one. M a full-time
student, a musician, a volunteer, an
extraoirricubr extraordinaire and a
founder and owner of a non-profit
you learn how to balance - and by
balance I mean take everything day
by day.

The Lance has been almost an escape
from the business. Vs something I love
doing - getting out there, meeting
amazing people wfth amaring stories
and then writing about H The Lance

is less of a job than it is a pleasure and
I was always told growing up 4 *Do
something you fove and youB never
have to wotka day in your life.” Here at
The Lance, I fed ami five these words.

Thais not to say 16 been all fun and
games, fve learned a lot but this year
has definitely been a step forward in
my career, m my fife and towards the
ultimate future I hope to achieve.

There is not mudi negative to say
about the year but if there were one
tiring, it would be parking As some¬
one who works for the university it
is at times frustrating 1 have to spend
money for parking every time I come

out and f m in and out multiple times
every day so it definitely adds up.

That being said Fve worked with the

The University of Windsor gave social
work masters students the opportunity
to present research they compiled on
their own in relation to their studies at

room and school setting in bigger areas
and in hunt of boards one day. She said
she believes the university program has
taught ha- a lot and there are a lot of op¬
portunities for many students because
ofthe quality of the program at UWind-
sor.

their placements last week

The event took the ideas of the gradu¬
ate studies and applied it to ideas and
suggestions they would present to their
placements on how to improve things
introduce new ideas and how to think
about things differently The event gave
students tile opportunity to expand on
their knowledge, converse with one an¬
other and team new ways of dunking in
thekige Md of social work

"We live in an age of information and an
event like this does more than the Inter¬
net could ever do for youT said Wilson.
"You can walk around talk to people
and team not only on the topics present¬
ed but also about die experiences the
people who wrote them had"

Taytor Fast, a graduate student fromso
dai work said the opportunity to pac-
tiee the implementation of new ideas

into the work place gave students a taste

student, said the posters they created

helped bring their learning from the
placements students were at to a new
level because instead of just doing work
for an agency, they got to expand and
think of new ideas for it

"*We did things such as evaluation as¬

*T worked for the addiction centre at
Hold Dieu-Grace Hospital and I was
able to team a lot about chronic reper¬
cussions horn the use of drugs,” said
Fast a A lot of people dorit want to take
substances because of the substance

sessments, improvement suggestions,
teaming devdopment and much more,”
said Wilson. 1 did an evaluation on the
needs of mental health patients with
dud diagnosis and how to better serve

abuse that can from it, so my idea is the

introduction of differed complementa¬
ry medidnes that help patients control

their pain managementswithout drugs.”

them in institutions othealtii'

a very good one and she hopes people

The evoit served as a iairiy innovative
art exhibit whidi was partly fueled out
of friendly corapetitiaa

Initially opened Mar 1(X the Revitalized
art exhibit held its dosing reception on
the evening of Apr. I at the Walker-
viile Artists Co-op. On display were 15
pkces of woik from 13 different artists
who created sculptures entirely out of
found and recyded materials. On top
of highlighting a level of craftsmanship
the exhibit doubled as a contest where
$600 was to be distributed among due
top three displayed works.

With the reception of the exhibit being
strong, WAC manager Chris Ford sees
it as the start of something fresh.

"We decided when we woe going to do
dils, we would do it in a big wayTFmd
said 'We i n tend on making tills an an¬
nual event Weve been pleased with the
first years offerings!’

Michad Karel Ondrovdk was among
die artists who had their work on
display A metal smith by trade, Gn-
drovdkfc piece was called ‘Txang ViralT
which he said was made out of drift¬
wood found in Lake Erie. The piece is
part of a running series of driftwood
works from the artist. He said he lets the
projects "run tree,” as they find a way to
speaktohim.

T just got this idea of a virus of an ani¬
mal, and it wasrit even a virus until the
end, and if you look at pictures of mi-
crosoopte creatures, you come out with
thirds Bke that sometimesT Ondrovdk
said.

The first, second and third place win¬
ners were to be awarded $300, $200 and

went to Rod Scholey for his soapstone
carving. A retired woodworker; Sdidey
started working with stone recently and
made thewinning piece over the course

oftwo days in January out of what he de¬
scribed as complete boredom. However*
the project also helped him gain a stron¬
ger appreciation for strong amings.

"Its satisfying, 1 * Schdey said T get a kick

out of carving the stone more than I do

As for what he plans to do with the prize
money SdioJe/s answer was simple.

“Dinners for the kids and the wife and

maybe a bottle of wineT Sdidey said

year and a half ago, k was admitted-
fy for selfish reasons, Fedixig like my
Journalism diploma was goir^ to
wasfe 1 went in with the priority to
establish a portfolio and improve my
craft Nothing else. While it definite¬
ly succeeded in providing these two
benefits, this past year gradually be¬
came about something much more
For what could possibly be for the first
time, I found mysdf truly involved in
the community, be it the campus or
the sunoundlng dtyscape,

Fve lived inWindsor for ihe better half
of my life Theres a difference between

living in an enviKminent, and
koowingand understanding its nooks
and crannies. When I started working
at The Lance, I realized just how little
I knew about my own home. Theids
so much more that goes on here than
meets the eye, and tends to be dther
oveiiooked or taken for granted IF
you search hard enough you can find
a community dial carries a sense of
pride and generosity Its not without

a case for it currently undergoing an
identity crisis. But never should it un¬

A! the Waters Edge Event Centre; there
were few seats left in the house

It was on the snowy evening of Apr. 2
when the School of Creative Arts hdd
their annual Jazz Ensemble cabinet con¬
cert within the central walls. There was
no shortage in musical flavor as the con¬
cert dove deep into entidng jazz tunes,
which were effectively reuvforced by the
big band arrangement.

The main draw, however; had kss to do
with the big band arid more to do with a
single, small-framed trumpeter.

"He has raised the standard for trumpet
players all around the worfcC said Rob¬
ot Fazecash, UWindsars Jazz Ensem¬
ble (director

The musical CV of Allen Vizzutti can¬
not be overstated As the evenings spe¬
cial guest and the latest artist to take
UWindsor residency, Vizzuttjs skills as
a trumpeter iiave allowed him to trav¬
el aonss the dobe, performing with
groups thorn the NBC Tonight Show
band to the rather elusive Budapest Ra¬
dio Orchestra. HA made contributions
to countless fil ms including " Bade to the
Putore” and “Star TftkT and his sounds
can evsi be found within the virtual
realms of “Hakf and ‘World of War-
craftT

Vizzutti said recording music remains
one ofhis favorite activities to date; not¬
ing there are few processes as healthy as
die creative one.

"Take it for what ft tef Vimitti said “The
creative part is so healthy, when you
play for people you actually make them
more healthy physically. Its brain chem¬
istry and that alone is great motivation
to keep going.”

Stylistically, Vizzutti describes himself
as versatile, as he can show five differ¬
ent pieces, which would seem they’re
all being performed by different people.
Prior to the concert at Waters Edge, Viz¬
zutti also performed with the University
Wind Ensemble on top of headlinh^ a

master class for students.

Performing for over 40 years, Vizzut¬
ti finds himsdf ramping up his trav¬
els, with up to 20-hour workdays and
adapting to what he describes as a par¬
adigm shift Given his time in the in¬
dustry, hes seen the distribution make a

Looking back* this was a year of
branching out and embracing some

that the pieces have been put out there,
Fve definitely found a love for a writ¬

Hundreds Attend Milk’s Reopening Night

'fhe exterior of the building has re¬

was open once more as it held its official
reopening on the evening of Mat 31.
FoJlowing a month and a half of reno¬

attended the bars return, taking in the
familiar nuances while coming to terms
with the new ones.

Jesse Baker, who previously worked at
the establishment, attended the reopen¬

Baker said "There are still some things
that need touching up, but for a student
it's great"

The structure of the bar retains the fa¬
miliarity, but the walk and furniture
help pave the way in giving the new

Milk a sleek* modernized design. Musk

promoter David Tidwell contributed
to die night by bringing in local talents
Talking Violet and Meandergreen to
perform. Having brought shows to Milk
prior to the renovation, he found there
to be a significant improvement in die

Advertising Manager

This year as the Advertising Manager
for The Lance has been an amazing
one.

I wanted to work for The Lance be¬
cause we hav^ similar values. The
Lance is known as the official stu¬
dent newspaper for the University of
Windson Being a fellow student here,
I care about the student body. This was
a role where I could use my mariceting
skills to book advertisit^ ^ia^fordL

arts tliat would, suit student needs.

I bode advertising space in the paper
for dients within and outside of the
Windsor arnmunity, I provide dients
with information about the paper and
book thdr contracts.

Everyone here shares the same values
of providing students with the storks
that they need and waiUtoenfoy My
co-workers are amazing and Fve en¬
joyed working with everyone

Being Advertising Manager lias kept
me on my toes, I had to work with
bi-weekly deadlines, multitape man¬
age multiple clients at once and orga¬

nize accordingly

fve learned so much and it can all
be summed up in one word perse¬
verance I have been told 'ho” many
times Ibis year However, I did not let
that get me down IVe had to take dif¬
ferent approaches - rethink my pitch
to clients, highlight different aspects
of what our paper has to offer and to
literally' think outside the box to bring
innewdfents.

A life lesson that I will take from this
role is to not give up very easfyv There

Windsor, an alumnus of the University

Mayor Drew Dilkens took the opportu-
nity to talk to the ahimni of UWindsor

much opportunity it lias to became

“A lot of people who don’t live in Wind¬
sor have a really outdated knowledge of
our dty and one that may be negative”
said Dilkens. Tine thing we've been
trying to do is bring peoptec^

Theatre Review - The Double Dealer

HANIYA5SINE

Arts Editor

The year 1693 seemed to be a time
where you coukirifc trust a scud. At least it
seems this way upon experiencing WU-
ikm Congreves The Double Deakif a
period comedy where douUe-aosses
are met with a dash of deceit Tl^e final
production of University Players' 57th
season finds itsdfddving deep into high
society with a wide array of privileged
and pompous characters being repre¬
sented by what seems to be the majority
of the School of Dramatic Arts graduat¬
ing class. To a degree, a path is set out to
allow the actors to go out with a bang,
and both separately and collectively they
leave all their efforts on the stage. But
due to components out of their control,
the result is less of a bang and more of a
whimper.

Taking place over the course of a single
night; “The Double Dealer*’ essentially
centers on Meflefcnt, whos played solid-
]y by Callum Gunn. Set before signing
his marriage documents to be with his
beloved Cynthia, MaUetont needs to
contend to the scheming plots of one
Lady Touchwood and uses his dear
friend Maskwell as a component to de¬
mise the issue, not btowu^MaskweD b

plotting a scheme of his own by trying
to steal the love crfhis wife to be

Ym have these two characters wanting
Cynthia* Outside of this are subplots of
other royal characters with similar moti¬
vations, Lady Touchwood wants Mefle-
font, despite being related Then theres
lord and Lady Froth* with the tatter
wanting one Mr. Brisk, Then thereS Sir
Paul and Lady Pyiant, wMi the latter
wanting to be with Mr, Careless. Basi¬
cally everyone is running aoon on each
other, which may sound good on paper
But it also plays a role in having the plot
buckle under ik own weight

With the amount of characters dou¬
ble-crossing each other, the act of decep¬
tion becomes increasingly weakened It
just ends up showing how two-feced
a lot of these characters are, making it
difficult to take anyones side. Perhaps
it was the intention, but the narrative
doesn’t do the production many favors
as it operates off a disjointed structure.
This only becomes doubled (no pun in¬
tended) with the diafogue, which sticks
mighty dose to the English Restoration
style. Its presorted by mixing the occa¬
sionally cryptic English dialect with rap¬
id-fire delivery

Its hand to fault the production for
sticking dose to the material but it can
be difficult to folly comprehend what
each character is saying, YouTJ catch on

to moments of fine humor* but at the
expense of fading one note as the pro¬
duction keeps to the excessively snooty
tone throu^out The long winded dia¬
logue deliveries also go from meaning¬
ful to meandering qukkly for on a few
occasions 1 questioned what the scenes
involving the Pyiants and Froths had to
do with the centra] plot Following the
curtain caHJ was stLD leftwondering.

The production is said to take place in
the galleries and rooms of the Touch-
wood home, but the set design makes
it challenging to project you onto the
environment. A large, wide dickered
platform encompasses the stage, whkh
is inclined and emptied out to allow the
actors greater reign when it came to per¬
forming meticulous movements. The
last part is mere speculation, for while it
gels the job done, it lacks the lavish and
intense detail youd usually find in a UP
set, whkh is strange ance those entities
were nailed down and then some when
it came to the period costuming.

The one aspect whkh prevents the pro¬
duction from going completely off the
rails is in the ensemble performances,
Billy Chandler is highly effective as the
decdtfiil Maskwel while Ciarisse Reid
admirably channels the venomous
Lady Touchwood Ryan Iwanidd goes
beyond delight with his performance as
the carefree lord Froth, and therefe great
chemistry to be found between Bren¬

Natalia Bushnik and Isaiah Kolundzic perform a scene from 'The Double Dealer* which is running until

dan Kronen and Robin Ixickwaldt Ross
as they play Mr, Brisk and Lady Froth
respectively I& the actors on stage, who
ultimately make the production worth
watching, whkh is unfortunate because
it could have been so much more.

Those wht >ve experienced “The Dou¬
ble Dealer" before may find the plotting
easier to stomach But the fading of fire

production going on longer than war¬
ranted is one, which cannot be shaken
off In what could have been a strong
finish ends up being a blemish on an
otherwise stellar seasoa and I can’t hdp
but fed the strong group of actors de*

This year at The Lance lias produced
more growth and production then I
ever imagined was possible

From a development standpoint. The
lance has been tostmrnentei in my
maturation as a sports journalist and
a professional to all aspects of my life,

I have progressed to my bask fon-

ough rnt£Tview% taking effective notes
and editing to CP style while main¬

product week-in and week-out

The ability to wrfte about aD of the

local sports teams for The Lance has
been a very* rewarding experience.
When coverii^ as many as nine sep¬
arate teams at onc^ I was able to ap¬
preciate the everyday grind of sports
once again.

As a former athlete visiting the battle¬
field with a pen insteadofaswordthe
ability to see athletes give everything
they have simply for the name on their
jersey has been truly humbling

As the brother of a deceased sist**

The Centre for Engineering Innovation
will soon be acting as a host for a highly
unique conference.

All day on Apr: 11, the building will be
home to the Inteniational Crashwor¬
thiness Symposium. Well over a dozen
talks vriB occur at the event between 9
am and 6 pm where automotive pro
fesstomls and academic researchers will
hdp ignite a discussion on providing in¬
novative measures in fuel efficiency and
vehkte safety.

The day will also act as a collaboration
agreement between UWindsor, the
University of Waterloo and the German
f AS^Sce ISSearcfr Centre tin "Spof
kick startingwhat he believes to be a piv¬
otal discussion, organizer and engineer¬
ing professor Dr Bill Aitenhof thinks
the event will help put a.spotlight on the
campus' own engineering program.

“We want to show them we have the
necessary talent as well as the research
tods to do some very interesting work,”
Atenhofsaid

According to Aitenhof one of the ways
the conference plans on touching on
fud efficiency and vehide safety is by
proposing greater utilization of lighter
weight materials. He notes die econom¬
ic burdens of car accidents are “phe-
nomenaT as billions of dollars are spent
annually on the matter* whkhdfectiv^

compounds with injuries and a possible
loss ofiife through these acddenis.

As there are seldom any conferences
specifically touching on this particular
matter, Akenhof believes the sympo¬

portunitfes,

^We are at the automotive capital of the
world basically and the sad thing is that
there are very few symposiums or gath¬

erings of this type in our neighborhood
or within our vicinity 1 Alenhof said
“Even if we make a real, real small con¬
tribution, it would translate possibly into
very, wy large savings”

More than 80 people have registered for
the conference. While there currently
few spots available due to budgeting,

ROHANKHANA

The Lance Contributor

Recently I got die opportunity to
work for the The Lance newspaper
as an intern writer and also as a vol¬
unteer. Being actively involved wMi
covering various stories and pouring
my thoughts cm paper aided me in
enhancing my writing skills and also
getting a taste of working for a medi¬
um whkh oooveys information to the
people by toe voice of the stodeitis.

'file irony of working with such a
fonn of media changed my percep¬
tion ofhow things work within an en¬
vironment imbued with constricted
deadlines and the materials being pre¬

sented to the public The staff of The
Lance are dedicated towards the sto¬
rks theywant to share with the people
and I experienced that mysdfbecause
of my passion for writing. Whether it
be art related stories or stories express¬
ing social awareness, the experience
of it all has been valuable in my own
progression as an aspiring writer

The ailminatfon of all these involve¬
ments have so for aided me in eval¬
uating my own position in society
and cultivate my ability to formulate
stories m order to reach out to people.
The Lance lias gpven me that oppor¬
tunity to imbue my writing style to it
and so far, it has been quite a journey.
I believe every person who happens

to have a pendiam for writing and
needs a pktibmi for his/her voice to
be heard, sudi established mediums
like newspapers, magazines, internet
and TV help to make that happen and
in my case, learning how things work
in The Lance gave me an insight as to
how the process of publication devel¬
ops.

Morexwer, I would Hke to add that the
people I met whether ft be artists or
sodal workers, every one of them had
an interesting motive behind what
they were doing and that motivat¬
ed me to give a voice to their actions
through the power of the press and I
thank The Lance and its staff mem¬
bers for giving me that chance

Workshop Highlights Social
Justice Through Art

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

As art generally encourages its viewer
to try to think a little ditierently* a recent
workshop used this as a platibmi to cre¬
ate a dialogic on sck^ justice

Ashes Transformed: Sodal Justice
Through Ait encompassed the third
floor of the Art Gallery of Windsor on
the afternoon of Apr. 2. The event was
co-hosted by the AGW and the Teach¬
ers for Global Awareness, which began
with an indigenous round dance and
proceeded with the workshop and a
curator talk

“Art is really attached to our emotions*
i& inspirational and that is a very easy
link with using art to get people to think
and become aware of issuesT said Amy
TesoBre co-chair of the Teachers hr
Global Awareness. “It captures your
attention a lot better than someone just
talkin g about it It really challenges the
person to look at it from thdr own an-

gkr

The event served as a tie-in for Y 68:01!

set up by Iraqi-American artist Watia
BilaL The exhibit is a series of connected
bookcases several feet long Many of the
shelves a re vacant* while those; whkh
are occupied wholly consist of books
rdated to arts and culture*

The showcase was in reference to a mo¬
ment in 2003 where over 70,000 books
in the Umveraity of Baghdad's library
were engulfed in flames* part of Iraqi
ongprt^ history of vwlence towards cul¬
tural institutions. Donations were being
accepted in the gallery in an effort to re¬
place the lost works* leaving die exhibit
itself ' to be a shining sample of the kind
of social Justice, which can be accom¬
plished through artistic methods,

“Here in Canada* were lucky we have
so many cultural institutions, and we
cm take t hem for granted," said AGW
rantemporary art curator Srimoyee Mi-
tea. “Even though these institutions have
been damaged, theyVe always rebuilt
them. Thais what we wanted to focus
on here* that history of not just arrival
but also a commitment to rebuilding

My time at the Lance was brief 1 was
there for only a week to fill in for a
friend who was on vacation. How¬
ever, despite my contribution being
short* the list of tilings I learned and
accomplished is not

T completed a total of seven articles
di ning my work perkxi I know sev¬
en doesn’t seem like a lot but my av¬
erage before then was about one a
week because I would only do them
for my heal reporting dass at school
Writing was and still is something I
love but my preferred method of news
reporting was TY broadcast Howev¬

er, my week atThe Lance renewed my
passion hr the written word and Tve
done almost nothing but print since
then.

Working for The Lance also gave me
a taste of the reaLwcdd industry My
only experience in journalism so for
had come from school 1 am about to
graduate from journalism at Si Pa ir
College and* although the program is
great and gives a good ideaof the work
world* it was stilla shock to be thrown
into tile industry so quickly. I had to
qukkiy learn and adapt to be able to
go from one article a week to severe
Time management is something I
have always been good at but. in only

that one week, I became even better.
Receiving feedback oo my work from
outside of school was also hugely ben-
efiriat because it provided a different
perspective and hdped me grow as a
writer and a journalist

So, while my week at The Lance
wasn't perfect, it was st ill an amazing
experience to have had I learned so
much about the journalism industry
and myself lm very grateful to have
received a message one day that said
“can you do me a fevorT because

There was a lock-la which took place
last week at the University of Windsor
and its cause may be one that surprises
you.

Rodent assistants fom die univer¬

to raise money for leukemia research
and advocacy last week for 24 hours.
Students could come out to Vanter to
punish them or reward them by donat¬
ing money. The punishments included
handcuffing people to one another, pies
to the face and much more,

Martine McDankI and Robyn Scott
resident assistants at MacDonald Hall
and or^nizers of the fock-ln event said
the annual event was altered this year
because of the death of someone very

Theatre Review - Dead Man’s Cell Phone

HANIYASSINE

Arts Editor

A Jingle goes off from a cell phone in
a cafe The owner of the device, Gor¬
don, doesn’t respond to it, and instead
remains still with his eyes dosed, as if
hes in a trance. The only person near*
by is Jean, wbofe increasingly becoming
annoyed by the insistent ringtone. “Are
you ill? Are you deaf?" asks Jean out of
frustration. But not tong after, she real¬
izes theres a good reason why Gordon
isn’t answering his phone hes dead,

The opening scene of Korda Artistic
Productions rendition of “Dead Mam
Cdl Phone" sets the foundation for
whats to come; Almost immediately

hrving up to the title, Jean finds hcradf
tangfed in mystery arei family dysfunc¬
tion as she takes possession of Gordons
cdl phone and begins o>mmunicating
with those within the contact list She
chips away at the kind of person Gor¬
don was, from the minute details to a
startling revdation. The result is a play
which Ls nch in deadpan, arid even crass
humour, but at tie expense of having
unwarranted diameter HKitivafions and
themes whkh are as subtly expressed as
a semi-truck coUisiofL

Its a mixed bag whkh mostly pays off
The play, originally written by Sarah
Ruhl shines greatly when it comes to
Jean pulling the thread on a life lost,
getting snippets of information about
the recently deceased &om former lov¬
ers and family members. Theres con¬

fidence within the direction and the
performances, as they make efficient
use of the stage and the limited scenic
resources at their disposal ft also man¬
ages to keep a rather mysterious aura
throughout whkh adds to
and encourages you to stay to the aid
Simply put, the cast and crew make ihe
most with what they have, leading the
issues to be more inherent to the script
itself

As there are a fair share of twists and
turns, spoiling the story* would be a
disservice. But some plot threads mote
orlessarefeftdangfedaidrKSfuIlyde-
vdoped and almost fora the start Jeara
motivations never really seem justified
Its not long after Gordons death when
she begins filling lies about his final
hours. Ai first its to make other char¬

acters fed better and more at peace, but
then she begias going out of her way to
lie and essentially serve the interests of
a person die had no legitimate invest¬
ment ia so it hard to reaDy empathize
with her in any meaningful way.

Another critical issue Iks in the subtext
It aims to be a thought provoking play
which b respectable and appreciated
The problem is how badly it wants the
audience to know this Without any real
organic precedent, charadmwillgD off
on tangents, whkh serve as commen¬
tary' about the Digital Age, particularly

irtfo their cellular devices. Not once does
it bother to express these views in a
natural or implicit manner, leaving you
with something beating you over the
head with its message. Only' the more
times you’re hit, the less impactful it
endsupbri%.

There^ still some enfoymem tobe had in
the play and by the endyouU likely find
the experience to be worthwhile. But
